Opinions ?

Since I'm north indian I'm a little skeptical about chennai location.
Am I low balled in terms of compensation ? Though WLB is primary concern for me.
Does anyone know what are the recent updates around work culture in amazon ? What i'm looking for is a good WLB and supportive team.
Team is relatively new.
Will post about interview soon.
