Same experience a few years back with another vertical (video, as I recall), so it's not just you.
I later went through the process far enough to get offers from AWS and Alexa and ... meh. Went with the Other Guys. Seattle is full of people who moved here for Amazon, burned out in 18+- months, and left for other orgs. YMMV, as with any BigCo, but some caution is advised.
