No they're not, at least here in California. Maybe you're thinking of warehouse jobs.

Several people from my work have come over from Amazon, and we constantly interview people who either take Amazon over us (citing more $), or are trying to get away from Amazon but they end up getting a big counter offer from Amazon and staying with them.

On Blind they're famous for paying the least out of any FAANG company and having the fewest perks. I have met some talented engineers who work there though.
i guess it depends on perspective. i’ve had multiple offers from them for a swe role and it was drastically under my other offers. among fang they pay the lowest

if honestly be making less than half my current total comp if i’d accepted any of them
