      Fast Paced, Politics, But Pays

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to multiple types of AWS services and processes that can be leveraged in similar positions in other companies Bonus and Stock Options were great when the company was doing well, but overall it's good to have a little nest for the future Clean and secure work campuses adjacent to great food and commuting routes

      Cons

      Heavy political atmosphere where hard work pays off less than brown nosing Multiple ambiguous projects that can go either way as enjoyable or painful depending on who you are as a person Less global off site occurrences unlike pre-Covid where the company would send staff to venues for learning and cultivating team cohesion

      Hire to fire, on-call hell, and poor management.

      Software development engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Compensation is competitive when you first get hired, however their are few opportunities for a substantial raise once hired. Even when transferring to teams internally. - Talented coworkers

      Cons

      - Managers have unrealistic expectations. Causes work-life balance to suffer. - Hire to fire. Amazon requires managers to fire around 6% of their staff annually. That number is on the rise. - Managers would rather fire you and hire someone new than mentor and grow. - Broke trust after going backwards on work from home policy.

      Worst Place Worked For In Australia

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are many pros but more cons. Let me list the most important pros: 1. Absolutely good to have in your profile. 2. Massive learning opportunities. 3. Salary was okay.

      Cons

      1. Selfish. performance and non-collaborative environment. It cannot be worse! You will feel disconnected, targeted and under pressure all time. People try to survive for as long as they could! You can justify the poor culture and environment in a fulfilment centre not in a software house! 2. Fake gender diversity culture. The management unrealistically hire females then ask them to leave to put numbers on the board. 3. No fun at all. Peeps working for AWS love the lights. No one enjoys work as you would do if you work in a local Aussie company.
