Amazon Web Services reviews

Frankly staying here for longer than a year is a mistake. These positions are the warehouse of AWS. Promotion potential is non existent. Development of employees is non existent. Turn over is absurd in these positions. There are no incentives for being on-call or being on a schedule because they will move you around with no warning or care for your ability to support that schedule. AWS also pays below what other companies are willing to offer for experienced technicians. I'll also add that the Day one mentality and culture is one that breeds liars and cheats.. People are essentially expected to know nothing about their job and to make things up daily. People are also almost entirely expected to stab co workers in the back in order to promote to higher positions. I could go on all day but my attempt with this review is to stay impartial. I am mentioning topics that may not have occurred with me but I have seen how people are affected by everything that I have mentioned.

-Internal dev processes differ greatly from common practice -Return To Office is inflexible and rolled out with very little thought, planning, or resources -Leadership is terrible at communication -Under Jassy things have gone from "well, I disagree with the company, but it aint so bad" to "I make double digit % less now than when I started, my org is a mess, job security is gone, I have a multi-hour mandated commute despite closer offices, and the hierarchy shifts several times a year." -The fear of leaks has led to complete lack of communication. S team decrees something without consulting orgs that will carry out decree for feasibility. It's basically become (and I'm quoting a Director) "a hot mess and nobody knows what's going on."
