Pros

-Management fantastic. Best leaders I've ever worked with -You can decide to surround yourself with the best people. They won't automatically come to you, so you have to make a conscious effort. If you do though, you'll be rewarded with relationships for a lifetime -You dictate what you work on. Not your boss, not your teammates. You decide

Cons

-If you are someone who "marches to the beat of their own drum" and ignores feedback. Don't join AWS -If you cannot iterate and improve yourself on a daily basis, don't join AWS -If you like being the smartest person in the room, don't join AWS -If you can't think expansively to improve yourself AND the others around you, don't join AWS -If you are not able to be a self-advocate by making sure people talk about you, but don't actively do it TOO much, then don't join AWS. If you don't know what I mean by this, you probably will be middle of the pack at AWS and can't figure out why you won't get promoted

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
