Pros

AWS allows you to be a technical builder, engage with customers to build solutions rather than sell products. By earning trust of your customers, you can influence innovation and industries. We use the Amazon Leadership Principles every day. The company lives and breathes those principals. They are open to listen to everyone's opinion, disregarding of its job level.

Cons

It is a very ambiguous workplace. There are always multiple similar projects happening at the same time and it might feel like you are being put aside. The technical bar is very high and is easy to feel the Impostor Syndrome.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
