Anonymous complaints can tank your career No chance to respond when you're targeted Managers who aren't willing to stand up for new hires Long story short, was asked to assist with major initiatives outside my job role when I joined, manager at the time asked me to help out as shorthanded. Fast forward 3 months, helping with the project got me pegged as "unwilling to assist" with my core job role by some account managers I had to turn down due to lack of bandwidth, and my then manager had taken on new responsibilities, leaving me to fend for myself. Cherry on the cake was complaints raised to regional HR on the week when I was supposed to be confirmed in my role, leading to PIP being initiated against me, eventually dragging on and leading to my being asked to leave. At no point was any complaints raised to me or my manager before then, and no one would even tell me who had issues with my work, all the while I was receiving positive feedback from the customer and other team I worked with, and regularly working 10-12 hour days to prepare for tasks that technically weren't in my job scope. So yeah, great company, petty people if you're unlucky.

Do not trust you will stay employed long. AWS is customer obsessed so they will throw staff under the bus any chance they can. Whether that is lying to sell any job to persuade you to take an offer, no work life balance (averaging 60-70 hour work weeks), impossible metric goals, continuous layoffs… don’t do it.
