Pros

Having been with AWS now for 4 weeks, I have spent my time learning, reading, watching videos of the leaders and understanding the peculiar ways of Amazon. It is so refreshing to work for a company that value candidates/ individuals on their skillset. For years i have recruited for major corporates whom have told me the candidates "does not fit the culture", or has "bad reasons for leaving their previous employment", or "we need to compare against other candidates" These are all irrelevant when it comes down to whether someone actually has the skills to do the job. We hire the best and so it is no wonder Amazon will be / is Earths Best Employer

Cons

None so far - there is just so much information to take in and I guess if you are not open to re-learning and being curious it might not be for you

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
