I’m trying to choose between: - Amazon advertising - Audible - AWS Beanstalk. For the next steps of interviewing. I already have a bad view about AWS😅 But what do you guys think?
What role will you have? I would go Beanstalk as a no brainer unless you have a particular passion for Adverts or Audible. AWS is the cash cow and a better place to be situated in the company. Work for beanstalk is widely translatable to many technical environments.
Former Amazonian here. Having worked with Beanstalk teams in the past it is quite an open service touching many AWS components so you can easily pivot if you don’t like it IMHO
Audible
Don’t do AWS the the new definition of hell.
Not sure what you’re on, but most AWS orgs are printing
AWS Beanstalk for sure, safety, more roles to pivot too.
Yes I heard audible and ads have a lot of layoffs
I chose this✅
Which team at Audible?
Avoid Aws
Audible is great if youre a SDE! Absolute hot garbage if you are in any other tech field Security, QA, etc.
I am at Audible right now, posting from my amazon blind account! Audible is genuinely great for the most part. My team is definitely working on cutting edge stuff I cannot say more. Also my team doesn't have on-call at night (we have an India SE team for that) and we have another Mexico City SE team to handle some of our extra OE work which is really nice. I don't think most of Amazon has that. Also Audible has a small company feel within a big company if that makes sense if you like that. Genuinely the people who complain about pip at Audible prolly deserve it. I don't know much about amazon advertising but I would avoid anything with AWS if you care about your mental health!
+1 I work at Audible and SDEs have it great here. I transferred from Amazon and was shocked how coddled everyone is.
