Cultural Pitfall - Leadership Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

The salary is great, and having an abundant amount of money will help when they conjure a reason to give you the shaft.

Cons

The environment resembles a cult. You must breathe, eat, and speak Amazonian or become an outcast. The organization is full of leaders who pretend to know much more than they do. It's all about leveling, which leads individuals to steal, kill and destroy one another. Ideas are stolen, strategy doesn't exist, and collaboration is a foreign word.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
