Brutal WLB, shitty vesting schedule, incompetent pay, no benefits, banana, terrible on-call schedule. TC:300K
Because of Amazon's beautiful stock policy.

What if you get PIP'ed out before 2 years i.e. you vested only 15% of your stocks in 2 years?
Because it’s not as bad as people make it out to be.
People chasing their dreams of working at “Amazon”? In all seriousness, I’m sure lots of team must be innovating very well!

yes it is so bad! stay away! I stay bc I’m a masochist and feed off pain. I eat nails for breakfast and fight forest fires for fun on the weekends. if u r not like me, u won’t like it.
Because Microsoft pays shit
40 hours / week is not terrible WLB. Vesting schedule is every 6 months. 75% of Amazon oncall get less than 2 sev 2 in a week. It is true that 20-25% of Amazon is brutal which gets all the bad name, but rest of the Amazon is doing OK. It is really easy to change teams in case you accidentally land into any such team. L6, TC 415k (Seattle)
415 for a L6 is great. You must have joined early
I used to work 60+ hrs/week, and on-calls would have 70 sev2s/week. Nuts.
Because people just want to talk shit about everything
It is REALLY not as terrible as the perception. It is a fairly successful company. I am sure it is not as KOOL as Google and Facebook and maybe like other more chillax start up. But it is a company where people with family, kids, a life goes to work, be serious about, go home and live their life. It is by no mean brutal and dehumanizing place like people rumored about here. Anyone who thinks we work in a terrible environment is just delusional. It’s not the coolest company in the world but it is giving many people opportunities otherwise cannot have too. Please don’t demonize it.
So do you think it’s a good place for married people or it’s specific to teams?
Absolutely.
