Mind the 4-year cliff
Interesting work, good teammates, decent work-life balance.
Experience is very team dependent.
Oncall.
Amazon corporate sees most employees as disposable. They're very secretive about pay ranges so that they can undervalue employees that have been there a while. They'd rather underpay people and take the risk that people leave than pay people what they're worth.
Amazon goes to such lengths to obfuscate how it pays people because it knows it makes no sense. They're going to lose a lot of good people because they don't have a reasonable way of valuing the contributions of employees and paying them accordingly and fairly.
