Pros

The only good news on this is you suffer 2 or 3 years and, providing your manager likes you, there is a chance you can jump boat.

Cons

The infamous list of values Amazon promotes should get another one: being inlove with thyself. These guys believe they own the planet. Their arogance and infatuation is unbelievable. The one and only pure persian soul in there struggles to see the light, hence did not make an exit yet. Plenty of aladdin's imagining they are royal family members. Despite their best effort to keep this from happening, AWS does not always get it right. This team proves it. Sure, if you are only financially motivated and love to manage upwards this team is for you.

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
