Pros

AWS has given me the flexibility and responsibility to be in charge of my success and provided a supportive team and manager to help at many points along the way.

Cons

There's a big learning curve and a lot of content to consume and master. I feel like I'm given plenty of time to work on absorbing and improving my skills. If you like learning and being customer focused then you will do well here. If you're more into working by yourself then it will be harder to thrive.

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
