Great learning opportunities, but bureaucracy can be frustrating - SDE-2 Amazon Web Services Employee Review

good work life balance; many transfer opportunities

less base pay than industry average

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

- 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)
