Business Outlook
Pros
AWS is an excellent place to learn, be creative, own your project and be part of something larger than you are.
Cons
AWS prefers to hire from the outside vs. promote from within. Promotions to Level 6 (SDE III and Sr Product Manager) are commonplace, but promotions to Level 7 are few and far in between. Lots of Level 8 (Director) people are hired from the outside and most leave or are forced out within the first year.
