Pros

AWS has a great onboarding program. As long as you are a self starter, it is very helpful. The people are friendly and willing to help. They also try to give you 3 months to just focus on learning culture, products, etc. That said, after month 2 you might start getting pulled in to some things. They seem very committed to he development, health, and well being of the team.

Cons

Working across all of Amazon is a little tricky. Not terrible, but not easy either. I would say it is like many large companies in this respect.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
