Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

The brand side is with the current client? If so I wouldn't.
Generally I like taking interviews to learn and grow, but in this case sounds like there's plenty of potential downside with minimal upside.
If I have no intention whatsoever of taking a job, I don’t do the interview. It wastes everyone’s time. If I’m curious and interested, I do it.
This yes and especially if it’s a client why waste their time
If you're only interviewing to meet more people then it's better not to go through with an interview. There are other ways you could go about it, for example set up an informal casual call with the guy and see if he can introduce you to someone else
Im really confused why you would interview?
Long story short--- dont interview.
I agree that this is a bad idea and could lead to your client being butthurt if he vouches for you and you had no intention of accepting. Networks matter but you don’t really build a great network by interviewing for and then declining job offers. Also as a hiring manager, I would never compute you turning down a job now means I should try and find a better one for you someday. I would just move on.
