Great place to grow - accept the grind - Senior Technical Program Manager Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

Place is a fantastic place to learn. So many experiences to gain, ways to think, and dive into cloud technology. High operational pace that challenges you to learn to balance your priorities both within and outside of work. Find the right team and leadership will empower you to flourish as an individual. Career path is in your own hands - own it and chase your goals hard.

Cons

Accept the grind. It's not for everyone. No cruise control here. Everyone has high expectations and you do not have much time to recover. Though individuals are empathetic, the demands of the business can create tough environment where sacrificing personal time feels necessary. Need to learn to defend your mental health and personal time. Your experiences may vary depending on organization(s) and leader(s).

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
