Anecdotally, Amazon's pay scale is only competitive with other companies in the area if you ignore on-call and only look at starting salary/bonus (including stock compensation).

Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

Not the OP. Basically, they expect you to work overtime (go on call) for free. If you take that into account, their offerings are nothing special.

What azth said.

I also felt that future compensation was more anchored to your starting compensation than at other companies.
