The biggest flaw in working for all those mega corps, is that despite their size, they still haven't fully embraced remote work. Yes there are island, but Amazon are still looking for that "2nd city" to locate in. Some people may dig going to an office, I don't. If you're lucky to be early in a given neighborhood, you can probably retire on renting out your house.
If you're late, like applying to Amazon now would be, you're just a blue collar worker, with higher turnover - you earn more and spend on rent. Especially in places like Seattle if I was to relocate with the family, I'd be an indentured servant, with obligations to pay high rent/mortgage, I'd probably have nowhere to change jobs to, if Amazon didn't work out.
One can dwell on small things like which version control does a company use, but ultimately, they are failing to deliver on the "quality of life" thing.
