Pros

AWS is a great company to work for, the culture is one of the best out there and really makes sense to embrace and live by it. You can move roles and try new things to find what suits you best. You own your career and managers generally support you well if you're looking to switch role. Unbeatable product and constant innovation

Cons

There's a huge fight for visibility and to advance, which can create a bit of a toxic ambience. You need to make sure you have the right manager or you will enjoy the experience much less. There are next to no additional benefits that are commonplace at other companies. The company will spend big on things that don't make much sense and employees get little back. Work life balance can be a struggle sometimes.

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

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
