Atlassian vs Amazon /u/Bulky-Telephone-5618 CSCQ protests reddit

Hoping someone w industry experience can help me out to make this choice. To say, I am very very grateful for the offers in this harsh market.

TLDR, which is SAFER?

They are both an internship, SWE for Atlassian and SDE for Amazon. I want to prioritize 1) RO rate for Full Time, 2) people and culture, 3) stability (if either even have any), 4) wlb > pay

I am a junior in college right now, so RO rate is most important for me.

i’ve accepted Atlassian and recently got Amazon so I’ll need to renege Atlassian if i choose Amazon. Not sure if it is a big deal tho (getting blacklisted?) Also, moving either of them to different season is not an option sadly.

Below are my intake from what i heard and researched. since they are both big companies, I think it’ll depend heavily on the department/team i’ll be at, but if anyone has any insight or advice on which is better for me, or simply which you will choose, please! I’m really grateful for anything 🥹

This may be controversial to my preference for a good wlb. I am an introvert but enjoy interacting with people, and the company i interned previously was remote friendly and many employees came to office about once a month, which kinda bummed me out as an intern (i understand the benefit it gives). This made me think if i prefer at least some in person as an intern/new grad. Wondering if Atlassian can be similar in experience? I think two companies are on the opposite end of this, with the recent RTO for Amazon and really remote friendly Atlassian.

I really value who i work with, more than the work itself or the benefits i get. I understand there’s a lot of luck involved for who i will work with, but hearing a lot of fuzzy stuff from both (especially for Atlassian lately), I wondered if anyone can comment on either regarding that.

One thing that may matter is that I am thinking on living in Japan (where my parents are from) in mid-late 20s. Idk if i’ll get a job in Japan, work remote jobs and live in Japan, etc but thought having an option to internally transfer to a Japan office would be nice. They both have offices in Japan, but Amazon does have way bigger of a presence.
