Pros

The technology is great. The AWS platform is great. The journey AWS is on is great. My coworkers were great.

Cons

Toxic work environment. The Leadership Principles were the #1 thing that drew me to the company. Sadly, the group I was in didn't follow the Leadership Principles and didn't follow many of the other rules. "Sit down, shut up, and do as you are told" is the principle most often applied. Managers only cared about what was important to them. They never cared what was important to their employees. Finally, it comes down to trust. I did not trust a single person in my Management hierarchy.

Pros

They offer some good programs to progress careers. Flexible hours (“kinda…”) Nice technology used in the cloud. Very clever teammates.

Cons

No work-life balance. The workload is unbearable. 2 of my teammates left the company because of high stress and burnout. Very tough approach from managers who just want to show good metrics to the upper management. So they rip off everything you have in order to make them look well in their metrics.
