Pros
At AWS, you will end up working so much that there won't be any dearth to learning. Depends how much you want to make your work part of your life.
Cons
1. Writing, writing and writing - Employees just write all the time and then the papers go to dust! 2. Weird calls!! If its a 30 minute call, people spend 20 minutes in reading through the document and 5 min for discussion and 5 minutes for next steps. is 5 min of discussion enough? Moreover, there is culture of providing weird and stupid feedback on documents. Amazon expects everyone to be a writer! If I were to become one then why would I write documents, i will write books and be happy! 3. Too many Indians in tech staff and they are always trying to please American bosses through Weekly, Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews. 4. No work life balance, you will end up doing 2 people jobs or even more. 5. Those who say that AWS pays well, don't know what industry standards are. Salary is definitely low. 6. Employees have a habit of using Leadership Principles (LPs) in every day conversation and they don't mean it! They just use them to make others feel how much they value the LPs 7. AWS Leaders always want to go to events and make great announcements and don't care about the staff who has to work 70+ hours a week to make things happen 8. Managers save all travel opportunities for themselves and their directs never get opportunity to attend any of the shiny events. and I have more but you get the point i guess!
