I am expecting an offer from amazon (sunnyvale, alexa team). I have almost 5 years exp with MS degree. The recruiter said interview feedback is really great and I think I did well. solved at least 2 questions (did 4 for 1 interview) and conversation was reall good as well. Given this, what is expected number? Also I've heard a lot of bad feedbacks about Amazon work culture. Is Amazon really that bad?
If your interview skill is that good, why don't you try FB, Netflix and Google, too? Once you collect the offers, you would not even need to ask here as you will know which is the max and what you can demand and expect from Amazon. BTW, how much time did you put on for studying?
Why not try MS too?
Not gonna help unless he needs lower bound.
Amazon culture varies widely and depends entirely on what team you join.
What level did you interview for?
they didnt tell me specific level .. it was for sde position
Coming from Uber amazon's punishing culture should be a breath of fresh air.
lol
Google throwing stones in glass houses?
I have heard engineers work on weekends in that office with lot of stress. Uber 2.0 has 10x better WLB than Amazon, but i agree maybe it varies between teams and orgs
Tell me more about the WLB at Uber please
Check out recent pics of buff Jeff Bezos and tell me if he gives a fuck about your WLB.
So what was your offer @dontk?
Wow uber you must really love punishment
No I dont .. that's why I am not sure about joining amazon
wait I have heard the work and culture at Sunnyvale is great.
