Bonuses at all, nevermind a few a year, sound great. Time to send out resumes.

What's the workload at the typical FAANG?

Mine is heavy. Working hard and barely meet the expectations. Lot of competition and colleagues are good. Passing the interview is one thing, but staying there is also challenging as they get rid of low performers. (at least my experience).

Tell me you're working at Amazon without telling me you're working at Amazon.

When i started at google a little over decade ago I had to work most nights first year or so just to get that occasional “exceeds”. Interviewing was a breeze compared to that

So far there is a pretty serious tempo at my FAANG but the complexity is not very high so it’s really simple work in terms of stretching the brain.

Lots of working with other teams (XFN) so collaboration is almost as important as execution. Pay is good.

From what I've heard, depends upon the FAANG. Google apparently has good work/life balance. All of them are all about making it through the interview process, which is a nightmare.
