Pros

Met some of the most amazing people from Day 1 here at AWS. Right from the get go my Practice Manager has laid a bed of trust and given me ownership for opportunity to be both lateral and upward with my career development. I've been completely inspired with exposure to creative minds and I'm seeing world-changing things with our customers when helping them to design and make Healthcare and Life Science reinvent itself to benefit the patient.

Cons

AWS like its parent company, Amazon, conducts org changes very frequently, one minute you are in one group, the next you are in another with new leaders emerging. When I was hired I had one leader, when I started I had three. It's highly matrixed here, so to be successful you need great navigation, collaboration and influencing skills. If neither of those sounds appealing to you, look elsewhere.

Pros

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
