Pros

I joined AWS not too long ago, and I absolutely love it so far! I was initially skeptical when I was considering remote onboarding and all the negative press I had heard from social media. But AWS Engineering, especially my group Quicksight is nothing short of inspiring. Every person I have interacted with has been smart, humble and resourceful. The leadership principles is so inculcated in every employee, things get done here faster, better and cheaper! I am drinking from the fire hose, and learning and enjoying every moment.

Cons

Some development processes can be better

Pros

First years compensation is market rate. Very efficient hiring process for the candidate.

Cons

Highly layered. Constraints on how people talk to each other. Hiring process for manager makes brining in new talent very cumbersome. No real standards - all teams operating in silos. Significant biases acros regions - doesn't operate a global team. Comp is out of step with othe FNGs, startups and some financial firms.
