Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Pros

Remote allowed at the time; Professional Services org had great mid-tier leadership that made work rewarding.

Cons

Higher level leadership absolutely terrible; working at AWS you'll always be on the chopping block due to factors completely out of your control. Not even partially out of your control, but completely out of even your organization's control.
