401K match is garbage but salaries are decent. I’d say we’ve gotten far more competitive in pay, and that’s not even counting the crazy stock appreciation over the past several years. In terms of overall benefits, we aren’t competitive - which makes sense considering Amazon isn’t a cash printing machine like FB or Google. We genuinely don’t have the money to spend unless Bezos was to deliberately sell $1 billion each year for Amazon corporate benefits. That itself is a fuzzy proposition - how do you give benefits to these corporate badges while squeezing warehouse workers? If you do something, it should benefit everyone.

I though salaries were capped at 150k or something. Which is good, don't get me wrong... but a lot of the other FAANGs beat that easily?
Salaries are capped at $160 but salaries are a part of your total comp. Most of my compensation comes from stock not salary, and my salary is maxed.
