Pros

-Good compensation & work life balance -Having worked at AWS opens a lot of doors for your career

Kontras

I started my role at AWS with a lot of hopes and a genuine eagerness to learn and work for one of the biggest top tech companies in the world. My experience was nothing but traumatizing and disappointing and quite a downgrade from the previous roles I had at other companies. The work environment and culture are toxic and people are not necessarily willing to collaborate or work with you unless it's something they can put in their promo doc. This promo doc is apparently at the center of what everyone is doing as a Solution Architect at AWS; the customers or colleagues come second or third. My manager was unsupportive and there were no discussions about my career, goals, and so on, even if I brought up these topics myself. I complained to my manager multiple times that I didn't have so many activities and work to do and asked to support other colleagues/projects only to be later on berated for my eagerness to contribute beyond my role, which would be quite the opposite at other companies. Also, I witnessed lots of preferential treatment that my manager and skip-level manager granted to other colleagues, such as approvals for participating at international conferences, better development opportunities, and overall more recognition. I have never felt more discriminated and offended in any other workplace and this was by far the most upsetting experience I have ever had.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Kontras

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
