Amazon is known to pay less and have a brutal work life balance.
Microsoft is known for paying less and being too big and too political to the point where making an impact is really difficult.
Mind you, this is on average: there are stellar teams at both of those companies that work on incredible stuff, and I would consider an honor and privilege to be in that situation, if the opportunity was given to me. Likewise, there are many teams in Google maintaining internal legacy applications with no challenges to solve, and you would have to pay me 7 figures to force me to work on those.

I personally couldn't get into Facebook or Google. What does that make me?
