Pros

Challenging fast paced work. Good Pay. Pushing the limits of networking and the cloud. Big tech company perks like stock and travel. Very strong company culture.

Cons

So much proprietary things, becoming a better amazonian doesn't necessarily make you a better engineer. Steep learning curve, it's a while before you start contributing. Not advocating for promotion can end up getting you fired. Job satisfaction is very dependent on manger.

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.
