Pros

the benefits if u could become a permanent were good

Cons

the call center is a revolving door, many are fired or let go within 6 months, employee discount of only 10% off of things only sold through amazon itself is lame. Used to be a great place to work, but the site director and the constant stream of temp management "seasonal hires" fills the site with false promises and backstabbing. the internal software is buggy and non-secured. i wouldnt go back if u paid me double i spent a total of 3.5 years there.

Pros

It's good to be the king. AWS is the market leader, but engineering doesn't act like it. Extremely innovative and fast paced. If you appreciate the technology it never gets boring to sell it. The people are amazing, and because the hiring process is so daunting odds are most of your peers are solid contributors. Great opportunity to make money if you are hungry and resourceful.

Cons

There are many layers of middle management that came from far less innovative companies and it shows in the increasing amounts of bureaucracy and politics. The hiring process is arduous and sometimes freezes out good candidates. Upward mobility is really hard, especially with many layers of middle management almost all of which were hired externally.

Pros

1. You will get experience from the top cloud computing company out there, it's months ahead of the competition (Microsoft are catching up) 2. Most customer centric company I've ever worked for 3. You will learn where technology is headed for the next 10+ years 4. This job will set you up for your next job - Most sales people leave after 18-24 months, many employees actually call it a "Cloud MBA" since it will open up many opportunities after your initial 12 months there. 5. Getting a meeting with new customers is a lot easier than any other company I've worked for (people really do love the Amazon brand)

Cons

1. Very poor compensation and benefits (Most employees I've talked to took a pay cut to join AWS) 2. Least employee centric company I've worked for (employees are treated as a commodity) 3. Reaching your sales quota has to do a lot more with luck and there is no real science that goes into calculating it 4. You won't get any "real" professional development training 5. Be prepared to be heavily micro managed 6. Highly immature and condescending management team 7. You will spend more time attending territory reviews, building account plans and will be attending internal meetings, rather than meeting with customers.
