Pros

incredible people, amazing technology, ability to learn. Lots of structure and resources to let get you up to speed fast. requires a strong desire to learn and a passion for what you are doing. That results in a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when you eventually learn the material and begin supporting the organization.

Cons

AWS moves at a fast pace. this isn't a negative but could be for some folks.

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
