Pros

1. 100% remote working with option to go to office. 2. Good career progression; no quota for promotion. 3. Generous paycheck and sign-on bonus. 4. Huge diversity. 5. No micromanagement; you have complete trust to do your job (and support if needed).

Cons

1. Tools and processes are surprisingly clunky, frustrating to use at first. 2. You obviously have to be interested in AWS technology, which can be dry for some. This can also be a steep learning curve. 3. Fast-paced with (healthy) competition — you snooze, you lose! May be stressful at times. 4. Heavy on the pay scale, but minimal company perks.

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.
