Pros

- Puts forth leadership principles and expects employees to act in accordance with them. Makes it very clear as to how to succeed at the company. - Leaders are interested in the development of their subordinates. - Team members care about each other. - As a large company, AWS has clear policies in place and an inclusive culture with plenty of resources for success.

Cons

- People work more than a standard 40 hour week. However, the hours are not bad and there is an expectation that you maintain a work-life balance.

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
