I'm sure you've heard that Amazon's corporate culture is considered to be "harsh" ... maybe it's not so bad for dev's, but I were you I'd take the job, but keep my options open at the same time, just in case things get unpleasant. There's nothing wrong with working long hours as long as you're being appropriately compensated, but big co's like Amazon are all the time finding new and creative ways to not have to do that. Good luck!

- shortoncash 10y agoI've learned to not trust what people say about a company's culture. Different people evaluate things very differently. Unless you have some really good friend inside the group that can vouch for the presence of sanity, just assume your new group's management is a bunch of lunatics. Subsequently, decide whether what you're getting paid and what you will (likely) learn is worth dealing with said lunatics.
