Review of Amazon Fast Data Technologies team

I'm about to interview for Amazon, Fast Data Technologies team in India. I have 6 yoe. How is the team in terms of on-call workload and work life balance in general ? What's the position/level I should interview for given my experience ?

Level 5 - SDE2 minimum. Depending on your experience and domain knowledge you may try SDE3, it’s highly unlikely though but worth try as they will offer you high SDE2 salary if you pass the bar.

Challenging work, mostly the crowd is 2+ year of experience. Bar is also high. You'll get Sde 2 with total comp around 40 lpa for first year. On call is light. Ps: I'm talking for hyderabad
