Business Outlook

Pros

I have been with AWS for about 1.5 years, there are many pros to AWS. First is the people so far I have been on a team that is very supportive and management has also been very supportive. I like that there is always something new to learn and everyone understands that we are all learning and are supportive and willing to make time to share their knowledge.

Cons

I have heard a lot of complaints about Amazon as a whole especially now with the RTO mandate I truly feel bad for a lot of them and wish them the best. A con would be miscommunication from the top down, lots of management is blindsided by decisions being made from above them.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, smart coworkers

Cons

Senior management is extremely short sighted, they don't care about their employees but the short term stock price. They have a list of 12 leadership principals, which the senior leadership follows maybe one of them, and asks everyone else to follow all of them.
