I am currently an SDE2 at Amazon with 3yoe in total. I have offers from Microsoft and Apple. I'm having tough time deciding which option to go ahead with?

Could you please comment on factors like quality of work, hike or target percentage, work culture, timings, perks

Work:
1. Microsoft in the wxp (word, excel, powerpoint) mobile team under office. I would be working on building mobile applications. Android applications in java and iOS in Objective C.
2. Apple, I'll be working on big data in Ads team. Tech stack would have hadoop, spark, java, scala, python
I dont have experience in either of the roles above.

Designation:
Microsoft - level 61
Apple - low levelled me to ICT2

How is the bonus percentage at Microsoft? Also, how are the refresher/merit stocks which are allocated during performance reviews at both the companies? What is the percentage of hike on base at both the companies?

How are the stocks allocated going to change on promotion to level 62 or ICT3 at these companies?

Is ICT2 at Apple a low level for me?

Also, what are the chances of transferring to US in either of the companies in terms of exposure?

And, which of them is a bigger tag? :P
