Pros

Thoughtful on-boarding (Embark) education and process. In addition to a standard on-boarding plan for all new AWS employees, there is custom plan which my manager custom developed and which includes extensive training. Impressed with the investment AWS makes in its employees.

Cons

The number of PRO/vacation/holidays days is below market.

Pros

- Opportunity to scale AWS at global level, working on the largest-scale projects on a daily basis. - High standards and expectations across AWS teams, you will develop your technical and soft skillset while collaborating and learning with other team members. - Total compensation package is competitive, with higher emphasis on cash base/bonus instead of equity in the first two years insulating new hires from market volatility.

Cons

- Benefits are lagging other top tech competitors in almost every area, including backloaded stock vesting schedule, time off and parental leave, wellness benefits, retirement contributions, and many others. - Work culture and celebration of healthy conflict can be challenging for more passive personalities. - Heavy work load requires strong time management and prioritization, knowing when to lean in and when to say no.
