    Do not blindly absorb all the negativity from Blind. But also KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO:

    1. Lot of learning opportunities and career switching options. For fast growth, Amazon is mostly amazing.

    2. A resume booster which helps you in your future job hunts (unless you already have other top tech in your resume)

    3. Amazon is result oriented. If you have drive to learn, deliver your committed results in time, advertise your accomplished works where you need to, you should be mostly good.

    4. There is strict corporate policy to let go 6% of employees annually under each L8 (director) with more than โ€˜Xโ€™ number of employees under them. This policy leads to lot of other bad practices and bad team morale. So, getting relaxed at Amazon is not a wise personโ€™s game.

    5. It is not generically true, but from what heard, 50+ hours could be common in many teams.

    6. Internal salary growth is not that great unless you continuously get the best band (which could depend on quite a few factors). So join at a high salary, that will keep you good for at least the first 4 years.

    7. Promotion process could be tiring with minimal monetary reward. But a promotion inside set you well for future job hunts.

      Not sure about non tech, but I think there is a significant hike for L4->L5

      Define โ€œsignificantโ€.
      For SDE, as far as I have seen in Blind, internally promoted L5s mostly start at 170k-210k range (looks to be lower than bottom of the band).
      And recent external hire L5 offers are touching 430k+
