      It’s like the Hunger Games

      Technical account manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits, good resume builder

      Cons

      Amazon loves to call themselves the worlds best employer, but what they don’t say is that internally it’s the hunger games where meeting unregretted attrition numbers are more important than productive employees. Managers meet to determine who are more likely to fail out of FOCUS and place their bets in order to meet their numbers. It’s insanity this happens at a place like this.

      Good Overall but find the right team with good management

      Systems development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to contribute to changing the way AWS operates and provide a great experiences for the customer. Seeing real time impact to what you do which changes the way teh AWS looks and operates is very rewarding

      Cons

      Most of senior management is an echo chamber of "yes men/women" instead of having the engineer in mind along with the customer. Changes implemented seldom will work toward a harmonious work life balance and often will result in over stress and over work of the engineers and mid-low level management. On top of all of that, due to the echo chamber of back patting "behind the desk" leadership, policies are put in place to drive pointless metrics instead of focusing on their mission... "Strive to be the world's best employer".

      Terrible Work Life Balance and Management Style

      Strategic customer engagement
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great total comp and opportunities to work on the top strategic deals out there (deal sizes ranges between $100M to $1B in total contract value).

      Cons

      Terrible management. Very top down driven. Drives a lot of distrust internally within SCE and also toxic relationships with other organization stakeholders. Long long long hours and constant push to do extra side projects despite already overworked.
