Pros

Salary, but more like “golden handcuffs,” also you get to put AWS on your resume.

Cons

Absolutely no feedback on your work and no support. I had six managers in two years because they kept quitting. Getting no feedback felt like I was working in the dark and I left having no real idea of how good I even was at the job. After I quit my manager refused to acknowledge it and instead started sending me emails detailing work I wasn’t getting done. I told him of course I’m not working. I don’t work there anymore and I kept asking where to mail my laptop. I learned that it looks bad for managers if someone leaves in good standing so he was trying to get me in trouble on my way out the door to make himself look better.

Pros

The tooling and technology stack is pretty accessible and robust.

Cons

The worst company to work for if you're not a 'cookie cutter' . They have zero respect for anyone with a slightly different racial background or disability. They preach inclusion but practice discrimination hardcore. The only thing the inclusivity training did was teach manager's how to avoid detection. HR does not care . You can have a fully substantiated claim and still get fired by your manager with no appeal. Skip Pip and find somewhere worth working for. WWPS is particularly bad about talent recognition and certain managers are shielded well in their hate bubbles.
