AWS employees get free coffee at ANY Amazon office
While that's great, I'd rather pay for my own coffee and have better benefits. Plus, WFH appears to be the norm right now, do they deliver that coffee through prime? Haha
We are a customer and our account has multiple SAs assigned to it. They work extremely hard and are on our company slack. I’ve received replies from them as early as 7am and as late as 10pm from the same individual. They also almost never take vacation.
I'm trying to crossover and have talked to lots of people, my notes so far:
- Their leave policy looks like crap. It's like 10 days the first year and then it goes up a little bit.
- Be sure you understand how they calculate your total compensation ( base + bonus + rsu)
- Most roles were WFH before covid, but talk to the team
- Experiences really vary from team to team, so be sure to ask good questions when interviewing with that team
- 401k match is something low like 2% of only your base pay
- I didn't ask about medical
All technical positions from support engineer to senior software engineer. Handful of TPM and Software Dev Managers as well. Plenty of Solutions Architects as well.
They'll clear engineers, harder to get them to clear a manager as there's just less need.
Insurance and PTO are on their public site if you search for them.
My office has a few beer kegs, cold brew coffee. Can bring the dog in.
