There's no better brand in this case. Amazon and Apple are both juggernauts in their respective fields and both look as good as the other in paper. You should be thinking of three things: 1) Which one pays more and by how much? 2) Which one promises work you might enjoy more than the other? 3) Which one has a better culture in your eyes, which one is a better fit for your personality.
Apart if you're a fanboy for webdev and server infrastructure I'd go for Amazon no questions asked. If I was more into the OSX ecosystem then Apple of course. My personal opinion? I'd work at Amazon. I don't think I'd feel comfortable working for Apple (which is funny cause I'm typing this from my macbook...)
- juggernauty 16y agoYou are absolutely right. i) Pay - Both Apple and Amazon pay 90k, with Amazon pipping with 25k more as sign on bonus. ii) I feel that my work at Amazon would be better, even though I am yet to make my team selection iii) Both seem to have same culture.. which is slog for at least 10 hrs a day. :(
- sp4rki 16y agoIt really boils down to the fact that Amazon seems to be offering you a better chance to do something more "meaningful", while at Apple you will be working on an internal too and in a team that, in my opinion is not as interesting. Take that with a grain of salt since I don't really know what kind of development goes on on that group in Apple.
