Pros

Customer focus and builder mentality are a plus. You'll learn to be an internal entrepreneur given the startup culture that Amazon promotes.

Cons

Once growth ended in 2021, its now the house of pain. The people and managers are miserable. The leadership principles only apply to those leaders that are high enough and live in locations that aren't impacted by archaic relocation and in-person mandates. Its hard to focus on your job when everyone is planning an exit and this is exactly the environment that Jassy and Galetti created. I imagine they believe that in the short term, they'll create shareholder value but the impact to people is horrible.

Pros

Brand, pay 1st 2 years, innovative

Cons

Was hired into a remote role, whi h now will be 5 day RTO. No communication from leadership since RTO email. Lots of internal politics and paper shuffling. Benefits not competitive with other tech companies, no upward mobility-company is cutting L7s and L8s.

Pros

I learn a lot on the fly and my team is cool. Slack emojis keep me at AWS to be honest.

Cons

The "relentless" pace is not a cute saying anymore. We do too much with less. Leaders only care about revenue.
