Cheapest American company I have ever come across
Pros
May be just the subsidised health insurance.
Cons
It has to be the cheapest American company I have ever worked for in Australia. They have been slowly clawing back the benefits that they gave to their employees. To begin with almost all the major companies have some sort of bonus that is paid every year. AWS just lures people with joining bonus that gets paid for just initial 2 years. More over the Support Center is more of a glorified call center. Micro-management is rife and you are never made to feel like you are a part of the company. They talk about 16 leadership principles, but it is all hypocrite. Its just for front line engineers while the upper management use it as an excuse to make support engineers over work. Work life balance is a big joke.
