What's it like working at Amazon in general and Amazon India specifically.

1. The benefits and perks
2. The challenges
3. The exceptions before joining and reality and realisation after joining
4. Company portrayal (mass media) vs actual experience

I'm hoping to get insights to help my own journey.

Work life balance depends on the team. However, it's average.
Benefits -- don't expect much more hikes once you join here. Which means, the benefit is all you are going to get in the offer letter.
Don't expect significant changes in the compensation once you join even though if you are performing too well. So, only join if you are getting a salary hike in an offer letter that you are satisfied for the next 5 years at least.
I would say .... Should be greater than 100%.
