Pros

I started at AWS a few months ago and even though it hasn't even been 6 months, I can with all honesty say that I have never been this happy and excited about my future at a company. AWS truly invests in your on boarding training, making sure that you are happy and settling in is not just something that the team does because it is expected, but it is something they are more than willing to do because they truly care about you. You feel appreciated, valued and respected from day one. You learn so much and there is no end to opportunity and personal growth. You have flexibility and work-life balance for real!! This is not just a selling point, we live by this. I am amazed by how our leadership principles form deep routs as part of every day as an Amazonian, it inspires and drives on a daily basis!

Cons

Happy to say I don't have anything to comment here.

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
