Not worth the money
Not worth the money
Brand name on your resume is good.
But you only need to stay for a year to make it stick.
I would only sign Amazon if you can't get any other similar offer in terms of prestige, as the resume boost is excellent.
It's just not worth the effort working at Amazon, especially since the stock growth has fizzled out. Compensation is not competitive, but WLB is far worse than the rest of FAANG. Company politics is a huge deal, and they are openly accepting of toxic employees as long as they can run the show. Stay away if you can. Even if you do accept, just use them as a springboard for the next opportunity.
Customer obsession comes at the cost of being the world's best employer. You have to figure out how to make both of them work together.
Managers should be held to strict moral standards on top of just performance.
