Microsoft promotes faster than Amazon since Microsoft uses an internal numerical rating score that can potentially improve each review cycle.
Also, the offers I heard about (from a few years ago) from both companies were comparable with respect to base salary, with negligible differences. However, Amazon's stock-based compensation offers blew Microsoft's (laughable) offer out of the water.

- lsc 17y agoYou say "golden handcuffs" and I hear "an employee who doesn't plan on sticking around" The point of golden handcuffs really is just that; you stick around a while and we'll give you a little extra. (My problem with golden handcuffs is that most deals I've seen as an Engineer were pathetically small. The employer seemed to be unaware that I can buy stock options on the open market.)
