Pros

Great company to work for. Good culture and focused. Consistency in messaging Competitive Pay Career Growth So far my experience in my particular part of the organization has been great. I am part of a larger team which is focused and cares about the individuals within the organization. As a whole we are focused on our customer and drive to satisfy their unique requirements.

Cons

Information Overload - Onboarding (90 days) is a deep well of training that sometimes feels overwhelming.

Pros

- Political Culture. It is rare to work somewhere that respects both sides of the political spectrum and values people for being people. I definitely feel that I am respected for my unique contributions and personality, as are my peers. - Work Culture. There is a good balance between intense work and respecting personal boundaries outside of work. I can only think of 1 or 2 people out of the hundreds I work with who don't understand leaving work at work. Everyone else completely respects your life and needs, while also challenging you when you are at work to deliver outstanding results. - Work. The work is very fulfilling. It makes a difference and people respect your contributions (even if you are a "lower level").

Cons

- Leadership. This one is more specific to my department, but those at the top are definitely managers, not leaders. That can be frustrating at times, as they are stuck in old ways, don't know how to connect with others, and flat out have dumb ideas. However, many leaders in other parts of the business have proven themselves to be outstanding and capable leaders. Since this con is just specific to my department, I still recommend AWS as an outstanding place to work.

Pros

Inclusive leadership Collaborative teams Extensive onboarding with milestones to ensure you feel confident before talking directly to customers. Upward and horizontal mobility is encouraged. Benefits except for PTO are competitive.

Cons

Onboarding is very self-serve and focused more on being "Amazonian" vs learning your actual job. Not specific to AWS, remote work in general makes it challenging to feel connected with your team. The PTO policy is not competitive.
