Rough culture. They bring in all attys at same level and start a cage match. Values can be used as a weapon to justify nearly anything. (There are a few NYT articles on this but I also know it to be so.) Incentive comp vesting is back-end loaded (vests mire in later years, less in earlier ones). Think twice before moving to Seattle--market is flooded w Amazon or ex-amazon attys who desperately want out.

Amazon does have a fair number of jobs outside of Seattle. Specifically, there’s some studio-like work in LA.

I’ve heard from friends the culture isn’t great but that’s second hand knowledge. There have been a few articles written about it I’d suggest looking at those. And maybe see if you can talk to someone on the in-house team who will give you honest feedback

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
