Pros

Met some of the most amazing people from Day 1 here at AWS. Right from the get go my Practice Manager has laid a bed of trust and given me ownership for opportunity to be both lateral and upward with my career development. I've been completely inspired with exposure to creative minds and I'm seeing world-changing things with our customers when helping them to design and make Healthcare and Life Science reinvent itself to benefit the patient.

Cons

AWS like its parent company, Amazon, conducts org changes very frequently, one minute you are in one group, the next you are in another with new leaders emerging. When I was hired I had one leader, when I started I had three. It's highly matrixed here, so to be successful you need great navigation, collaboration and influencing skills. If neither of those sounds appealing to you, look elsewhere.

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
