      Interesting Opportunity, but not sure I'd do it again

      Pros

      -The pay is very, very competitive. -Remote work opportunities offer a means to balance work/life. -Travel/training reimbursements are paid out almost immediately. -Exposure to all sorts of tech/capabilities.

      Cons

      -You'll be expected to figure just about everything out on your own, from administrative process to training. -Outside of the onboarding process, there doesn't seem to be any sort of formal training or professional development/mentorship program. -Leadership is hyper focus on utilization and overall profitability. All my manager and I discuss is how to increase utilization (billable hours). -"The stock dropped $5...am I getting laid off next?" is tough to have hanging over your head.

      Do not join at any cost

      Pros

      One can crack the interview by preparing really well. I can say that candidates do not compete with each other; they compete with themselves. But once you join Amazon, they make sure that you are working like a donkey and will keep repeating how your performance is deteriorating. I saw it happening all around, and this really killed employee morale.

      Cons

      This company can ruin your morale and ambition.

      Very good

      Pros

      Nowhere is perfect, but here is as close as I've seen. Your career is what you make it and AWS is a great place to make it great. You have to be self-driven, but it doesn't really matter, that's the case no matter where you are since you're the only one who knows what you want & need best.

      Cons

      Depends where you're at I'm sure, but there've been a significant amount of re-orgs since I've been here. That amount of churn is never good, but I've come to expect it at any big company. A lot is happening and change is the norm. If you want less change, you are going to have to go work for the gov't or some small well established company.
