Pros

Experiences can vary wildly depending on what site you end up at. Job is stable and work is pretty self-directed.

Cons

Extended tenure requirement for promotion. Tons of poorly explained metrics to keep track of and balance. Leadership seems to thrive on keeping everyone on their toes. Pay is mid for the industry.

Pros

If you are an established seller you can negotiate good pay. The first two years with guaranteed cash is great.

Cons

The Cloud Sales Center has been the outlier of the organization. It feels like the only people who take it seriously are the leaders within. If you are looking to advance your career internally at AWS the CSC is not the place to do it. In the past few years promotions has slowed as have the opportunities for sellers to advance into roles outside the CSC. It is a dumping ground for accounts that others don't want. And when they do, they generally can take them.

Pros

Lots to learn. Lots of bad WLB too. Pretty messy code base.

Cons

Bad WLB, some bad politics too
