Amazon Web Services reviews

Pay is not comparable to similar companies. Long hours and very little work life harmony. Leadership is pressured to meet expectations and it often outweigh employee happiness and career development. No time to work on personal goals - long hours, and if working from home there is work consistently throughout the day and night with 15+ hours a day often times. Promotion is difficult and hard to understand how to achieve, even if you're doing the same work as those in the levels above you.

Frankly staying here for longer than a year is a mistake. These positions are the warehouse of AWS. Promotion potential is non existent. Development of employees is non existent. Turn over is absurd in these positions. There are no incentives for being on-call or being on a schedule because they will move you around with no warning or care for your ability to support that schedule. AWS also pays below what other companies are willing to offer for experienced technicians. I'll also add that the Day one mentality and culture is one that breeds liars and cheats.. People are essentially expected to know nothing about their job and to make things up daily. People are also almost entirely expected to stab co workers in the back in order to promote to higher positions. I could go on all day but my attempt with this review is to stay impartial. I am mentioning topics that may not have occurred with me but I have seen how people are affected by everything that I have mentioned.
