Pros

- Opportunity to scale AWS at global level, working on the largest-scale projects on a daily basis. - High standards and expectations across AWS teams, you will develop your technical and soft skillset while collaborating and learning with other team members. - Total compensation package is competitive, with higher emphasis on cash base/bonus instead of equity in the first two years insulating new hires from market volatility.

Cons

- Benefits are lagging other top tech competitors in almost every area, including backloaded stock vesting schedule, time off and parental leave, wellness benefits, retirement contributions, and many others. - Work culture and celebration of healthy conflict can be challenging for more passive personalities. - Heavy work load requires strong time management and prioritization, knowing when to lean in and when to say no.
