Once I looked into Amazon employee benefits and you didn't even get a free Prime account.

Yeah, but they pay 200-400% what competitors pay. The drawback is that they work you like a dog.

The bigger drawback is that you’re working for Amazon, surely.

It’s also a very hostile work environment purposefully built to pit you against your coworkers.

Yeah, that's why people typically tap out after a few years. I know someone who worked for them for 3 years. Working for them accelerated his retirement plans by a decade since they pay so well, but after 3 years he was very unhappy and left.

Their pay really isn’t great. For warehouse work or offices, most cities have an absolute abundance of positions with equal or higher pay.

I'm talking about engineering positions, but the warehouse pays pretty well around here (Seattle) too.
