Pros

Great chance to learn a lot about the AWS cloud. Work can be interesting and promotion and opportunities are great inside and outside the company. Pay is good for similar type roles. WFH is an great perk to have. Can be fully virtual if you wish.

Cons

Benefits are basic. If you stay too long you will see many people joining on a higher salary than you and will be told this is just how it is. There is not much for negotiation outside of promotions. Its becoming more and more like a call centre since I started. The micro management is heavy and the bar for the role is becoming lower and lower. Something has happened since covid and the people I once saw around me who were so so inspiring and intelligent have moved on to better positions while the people coming in don't hold a shadow to these people. There is heavy focus on metrics and in particular the team metrics. Even if you are meeting your metrics and working above your expected workload, if you are in a weak team the pressure never ends.

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.
