Pros

Great experience and training on cloud technology and exposure to many great partners.

Cons

The business culture was all about the numbers, even though their main leadership principal is all about the customer. Management tries to accellerate closing contracts in the public sector when there are many factors that cannot be accellerated, like the customer's fiscal year. If you are going for a sales position at AWS, beware that quotas are not based upon anything remotely related to reality.

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
