Pros

Really big company and fast paced. You will get to work on some really cool things. The pay is very good.

Cons

Oncall can be crazy You will either love it or hate it based on your manager. Most of what you will work on won't help you outside of AWS.

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
