Pros

-They don't just throw you to to the wolves. Their onboarding process is very detailed and thorough. You go through 2 to 3 months of training before they put you in front of a customer. They want to make sure you that you feel comfortable when presenting AWS cloud solutions. -Good pay -Great team, work environment is very flexible

Cons

-Large company, can be overwhelming when trying to find answers and where to go -If you're not technical, learning AWS cloud solutions can be challenging -They require their employees to take an AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam within 90 days of employment and you must pass it. This exam can be challenging. You have to study for it while going through onboarding. -As you promote within the company, your work life balance is centered more around work than anything else.

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
