Got through amazon onsite recently for L5, onto team matching. Any thoughts on the following teams? I am interested in Infra / large scale systems, so leaning towards Alexa data infra. Pointers on WLB, culture, politics, projects would be helpful.

- Ads API infra
- Alexa shopping
- Alexa data infra
- Search capacity
- Search Infra
- AR and visual search

Blind tax: Current TC 250k 🤷‍♂️

Edit: No offer yet from Amazon

    Hard to say
    There's tens or hundreds of SDEs on these teams, wait for the team match and come back for feedback
    Don't post on Sunday night or Monday morning
    Try Wednesday noon and later for larger # of people seeing post and giving feedback

      At L5 all these above teams are fine I guess
      Managers is a whole different discussion, I'll let others respond.

      Here's a tip, post asking for teams hiring L5 SDEs who are willing to share Wlb and other info with you. You can pick your manager before the matching process ends.

      You have to work at Amazon to access it. It’s basically Blind—but just for Amazon folks. The TC’s posted are insane. Amazon is paying top dollar now—without a doubt.

    When you say infra, are they kind of SRE role? Also what’s your new offer at Amazon?

      OP
      By infra I mean backend software infra. Still sde, different from sre, though responsibilities may overlap when it comes to supporting an existing product.

      Edited the post: havent gotten any numbers from Amazon yet
