Pros

- Everyone I work with is super helpful and ready to answer questions. - Lots of resources available to advance your knowledge and career (free instructor-led AWS training)

Cons

Work life balance can get a bit difficult when we have deadline crunches, but that’s pretty standard across other companies I’ve worked at.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
