Pros

I worked in AWS sales and business development roles in a leadership capacity for almost 8 years. I loved the culture - work hard, play hard, change the world. Great opportunity to build a great business and express your talent in creative and imaginative ways. Your enjoyment and happiness depends a lot on your attitude. If you can work hard and keep your spirits high, you can have a blast. Do not get into a negative mindset or you will be unhappy with the fast pace and growing pains.

Cons

Great company and fast growth. Many new managers that do not understand the AWS culture. It can cause disappointment among staff when the bar is lowered in hiring.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
