Received 2 offers from AWS and DoorDash for a tech non-SDE role in medium cost of living and need help evaluating them.
Amazon Web Services (before negotiation):
Level: L5
Base: 120K
Equity: 17 shares (~$55k)
Sign On: 21k and 14k
TC: 140k
Pros: Brand name, rich experience, high visibility work
Cons: terrible culture, little future comp bumps, relatively lower equity returns
DoorDash (after negotiation):
Level: Senior Analyst (L4 I think)
Base: 122k
Equity: 96k
Sign on: 5k
TC: 146k
Pros: high growth, good culture and team, career growth opportunities (promos and comp increases)
Cons: weaker brand name, long hours, business prospects are risky
Would really appreciate any thoughts to help me make a decision. Also, how high can Amazon offer go?

DD 100%
Plus aws is a shit show in so many areas.
Side note 4 is not a senior level at DD. It’s mid (equivalent to Amazon L5 - which is also not senior)
Give me something that you're high on too, AWS is the market leader and serves 10s of players like DoorDash.
No one would argue that aws is best in class in their field and largest scale period.
Is it a fun place to work at ? Good as an employee ? That’s something else.
Worked hard , terrible tooling sin many cases , problematic management and culture , pip , intense oncall and lots of cynical use of LPs to justify decisions that are not backed by data.
