I have offers from Facebook, Google, Uber, Dropbox, and Amazon. The offers are very comparable, but the Uber one comes with extra equity since they are pre-IPO. I'm more into product rather than infrastructure, and so are the teams I'm being considered for. Opinions?

    Don't join Amazon if the offer is comparable and money is a factor. We don't do bonuses and barely give out any raise. The joining bonus is also a cover up for the slow vesting in the first 2 years.
    I'm not even getting into the culture here.

      The culture at Amazon: mean people. Very mean. Nobody likes to say “yes” or do any collaboration. It’s hard to feel like you belong...

      Noir I might amend that to say "self interested" instead of mean. People are nice if you have something they want and indifferent or backstabbing when you dont.

    Google is much slower moving. Google Cloud is a disaster, old enterprise folks from HP, IBM and VMWare — so it highly depends on your org, too.

  • You should not consider Amazon and DropBox at all, but just use them as counter-offers.

    For good WLB and job stability, Google is your best bet.

    I am curious. How did you time such that all offers come more or less at the same time?
