Amazon

I joined Amazon with a Master's degree and 1 year of experience.

I have had so many opportunities for system designs, delivering value to end-customers, and project management.

I have been a people manager for more than a year now.

I love the products that we have been building at Amazon.

If you have passion and want to get a sense of accomplishment, working for Amazon is a great choice.

Anecdotally, the compensation when you are in lower levels may be a disadvantage, comparing to other tier-1 companies. With Amazon's stock raising like a hockey stick, and the simplification of the promotion process, I don't believe the current salary would matter when looking back cumulatively after a couple of years.
