Pros

1. 100% remote working with option to go to office. 2. Good career progression; no quota for promotion. 3. Generous paycheck and sign-on bonus. 4. Huge diversity. 5. No micromanagement; you have complete trust to do your job (and support if needed).

Cons

1. Tools and processes are surprisingly clunky, frustrating to use at first. 2. You obviously have to be interested in AWS technology, which can be dry for some. This can also be a steep learning curve. 3. Fast-paced with (healthy) competition — you snooze, you lose! May be stressful at times. 4. Heavy on the pay scale, but minimal company perks.

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.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

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.
