Pros

- AWS is a big company, and its easy enough to transfer teams internally if there's a better fit for you. - competitive pay and benefits - lots of opportunities to work in fast paced, professional environments, and gain experience

Cons

Really depending on the team you're on, some are better than others. - terrible work/life balance - oncall nightmares - 5 days a week in office. They only reimburse 50% parking

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
