Got an offer from A9 that I like. Any stories about A9 culture? How similar is it to the Amazon culture? I am not bothered by lack of free food and offer comp is good so please comment on other aspects.
A9 is somewhat sheltered from the rest of Amazon and they're mostly located in the bay area. Lots of research scientists in that org.
They pay a lot more for new grad
woah...why are u leaving your 300k+ job?
To make more money at A9? I doubt they're offering him less than Netflix pays
Netflix matches any offers you get, right?
A9 pays very well and can match Netflix. Though Netflix would also probably counter if they believe the employee is worth keeping
Op what is ur offer?
A9 still exists? I'm happy, cuz they were doing some cool stuff in the past, but haven't heard a peep in years...
A9 powers all of search on amazon.com I believe. If we sell it, it has to be in A9. It's not perfect, but it is pretty cool.
I hear pay is good and work life balance is pretty good and not as oppressive as their Seattle overlord.
A9 really has very high TC
Lots of smart people
