Ask HN: Perks at Amazon US

3 pointsby cvs268over 8 years ago
What are the employee perks at AMAZON US? A friend got invited for a day of on-site interviews. Anything she should negotiate upfront?

Well she already gets one of the best perks: queue-free bathrooms. Most of the new Amazon buildings are built with much less bathrooms to save floor space, but still have 50&#x2F;50 womans&#x2F;men bathrooms despite the huge gender bias.<p>Other perks include bread toasters if you&#x27;re a SDE, ping-pong tables if you&#x27;re in things like legal, and if you&#x27;re unfortunate enough to deal with oracle there may even be snacks offered (only in a restricted area, obviously).<p>Your friend should negotiate very hard on salary, and perhaps even more importantly the level (assuming she&#x27;s not straight from college). Most developers don&#x27;t care much about titles and don&#x27;t care if they&#x27;re coming in as a SDE 1, 2 or 3 but Amazon makes a big deal about it. Being an SDE 1 will mean you can get shafted on everything from worse hardware specs (wtf?) and less hardware (e.g. SDE1&#x27;s need to buy their own extra external monitors if they want one) and there&#x27;s a lot less opportunities and discression until you get promoted which can be difficult
