Pros

AWS is really focused on being Customer First. Particularly in the SA role You get access to a ton of cutting edge technologies and (basically) unlimited access to the AWS cloud in your own environment Compensation

Cons

They throw a lot at you and expect a lot AWS expects more than just being a good SA for you customers. Blogs, Whitepapers, demo's public speaking are expected on top of customer responsibilities in order to advance

Pros

-Great place to learn -Work with some of the smartest people in the industry -Flexibility/autonomy in schedule (not impacted by RTO)

Cons

-Constant reorgs and shifts in leadership: I went through a reorg almost every January and had 6 managers in 2.5 years. Inconsistent leadership makes it hard to feel aligned to a company/team vision or to feel supported. -Promotions are highly political and your manager plays a huge role in whether you advance. Managers rarely have career conversations with reps, which leaves little real path for growth. Good managers want to see their team develop and help them get there. -Comp plan changes reduced sellers' ability to accelerate and lowered pay year over year. Comp plans are dictated by Operations, not Sales Leadership.
