Ex-Amazon here: burnout due to stressful work and on-call duties is the n. 1 reason for attrition.

It's very well known that people leave FAANGs in general due to stress.



Sorry to hear it. I guess FAANGs aren't interchangeable. I'm at Google - have been on 4 or 5 teams in 10 years - and that's unthinkable. Thanks for the data point, anyway.

Google seems to be better in some ways, but I met plenty of ex-Googlers complaining about the stress and the competitive environment.
