Pros

AWS is very good about ensuring employees have a good work/life balance. They also have good benefits. Also even if you come in as a DCO tech to get your foot in the door, it is very common for people to move to other job families or be promoted into management.

Cons

Indiana site is still under construction in a lot of areas. Finished buildings have too many teams inside of them, which makes finding spots to sit problematic and working in the data halls crowded. This is especially true on Wednesdays, when front and back-half teams overlap.

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
