      Pros

      Good pay, bountiful hours, decent benefits

      Opportunity and growth but corporate and high pressure

      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great possibilities for growth i.e. transfers and promotions. Learning opportunities in a wide variety of fields and topics. Very well paid. Benefits are on point. Nice tech too. Endless possibilities to join campaigns or communities for charity or fun. Teams are small and self-managed for the most part. You get to own your product more than any other corporate I have worked for.

      Cons

      Very high pressure job - expect to work overtime for your first 6 months or so. Very specific ecosystem - relearn a lot to do it the AWS way, i.e. Git or builds. Corporate structure - Though teams are small and self-managed, review processes etc. are quite impersonal checklist-style. Team members all across AWS rotate to be 'On Call', which means you will respond within 15min if your service is down at any time day or night.

      Cool place to work.

      Solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Incredible innovation and tech. * Lots of groups to join depending on your interest * Everyone I speak to enjoys the tech from a solutions architect perspective.

      Cons

      * Lots of red tape, if policies, pay etc could be as dynamic as the tech innovation then retention would be less of an issue. * Easy to get lost given the vast amount of people and resources.
