I have received a job offer to work at Amazon. I have heard some horror stories about work life balance. I work hard but I want to make sure the job is not going to cut in to Family time.

Congratulations on bagging a job at FAANG company. Work will be hectic at times, no matter which company as you gain more experience. I suggest you to take up the job and give it a try. If things don't work out, switch maybe after an year.

Congrats đź‘Ź
But O have heard from many friends that Amazon is on PIPing spree

Congrats on the offer, even if you don't decide to accept that has got to feel good. I have also heard some concerning stories about WLB at Amazon. From my understanding they don't have a great WLB, but I think that if you're moving from a non-FAANG company to FAANG you're going to be feeling the pressure anyway.
