      Pros

      I worked for AWS Professional Services, the consulting arm of Amazon Web Services. * AWS invests a LOT in your education. 6 weeks of just onboarding, including AWS paying for certification training classes and certification exames * Access to internal AWS accounts makes it easy to experiment and learn * My coworkers were brilliant, and I learned a lot from them * Access to unique customer challenges and datasets * Pay was great, 30% higher than what I was making in my previous job * For a while, some of the travel is great. I got to visit a few cities around the U.S. and even travel internationally * Work-life balanced is manageable. Could be a lot better if there weren't so many time-sucking unnecessary internal processes, but it's not nearly as bad as Amazon's reputation if you google "Amazon work-life balance"

      Cons

      * Amazon is enormous, and as bureaucratic as you'd guess based on that size. I probably bookmarked 200 well-meaning internal sites / tools my first week. * Gender diversity was awful on my team. I think it was something like 80 employees, 3 women. * Travel in AWS Professional Services is a lot more manageable than at management consultancies, but it can still wear you down. I'd say on average I got about 10 days notice before traveling * Internal communication tools are awful. You have to use Amazon-created, kind-of-ok alternatives to the stack you'd use at a modern company. e.g. Amazon Chime instead of Slack, Microsoft Outlook instead of Google Calendar, etc.

      Pros

      Leadership Principles really drive Amazon. Managers are very accommodating and willing to let you work in the way you work best

      Cons

      Not a place for people who don't want to take ownership. Or struggle with bias for action. Can be tough to learn because of the work going on.
