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

- Huge global exposures - Automated processes

Cons

- Very self service (employees are required to be independent and must be able to identify issues, e.g.: administration matters, etc). - Although the company implements flexible work arrangements, but it really depends on the team. Some team might require people to work at the office for several days. - Need to be very proactive when we face issues, e.g. benefit enrollment, etc.
