Pros

I joined AWS after a lengthy interview process and was extremely excited to be a part of what AWS is building. I have enjoyed many aspects of working here - the products and services we offer as a business you cannot compare to we truly do have a fantastic offering.

Cons

Unfortunately due to poor planning by senior leaders redundancies are now being made across many teams and it is being handled terribly. There is no thought for the employees, many US employees simply received an email to let them know they have been let go and here in the UK the HR team are not keeping anyone updated, 3 weeks ago we were notified our team was at risk but no news since. We are being completely left in limbo.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation Good company culture and knowledge enablement Challenging work environment

Cons

Anonymous complaints can tank your career No chance to respond when you're targeted Managers who aren't willing to stand up for new hires Long story short, was asked to assist with major initiatives outside my job role when I joined, manager at the time asked me to help out as shorthanded. Fast forward 3 months, helping with the project got me pegged as "unwilling to assist" with my core job role by some account managers I had to turn down due to lack of bandwidth, and my then manager had taken on new responsibilities, leaving me to fend for myself. Cherry on the cake was complaints raised to regional HR on the week when I was supposed to be confirmed in my role, leading to PIP being initiated against me, eventually dragging on and leading to my being asked to leave. At no point was any complaints raised to me or my manager before then, and no one would even tell me who had issues with my work, all the while I was receiving positive feedback from the customer and other team I worked with, and regularly working 10-12 hour days to prepare for tasks that technically weren't in my job scope. So yeah, great company, petty people if you're unlucky.
