Other Big-N companies have comparable pay with way less stress.

  What I see being touted is F & N > G > A & A for TC? Obviously there are many factors in play so that might not always be the case. Also per my other comment on this thread, sounds like Netflix really blows away all others because there is no shenanigans around RSUs, cliffs, unexpected appreciation, etc.? Correct me if I'm wrong since I am definitely no expert at this game.

    This is probably true, but socially Apple seems like it gets a better reception/superior people. Folks at Amazon are pretty normal. Disclaimer - I’m very average and work at Amazon

      Yes Im probably average and I’d go with whoever takes me, but as I’m outside of the US it’s all hypothetical

      Not sure if this is the reason, but I've heard Apple (and also Netflix) give individual teams much more autonomy on how they select, interview, and hire candidates, so maybe the fit between each person and their team is better? i.e. you may even not get leetcoded depending on the team and hiring manager. Versus Facebook, Amazon, and Google having a more one-size-fits-all approach to hiring.

        Amazon, until recently, also hired most SDE2 and up with a team specific approach, with the SDE1's effectively interviewed by an algorithm (via coding interview etc).
