      Fast growing company but still a corporate, the people are the best part

      Pros

      Amazing and smart colleagues that love working in a fast paced firm. A lot of change and new ideas being implemented fast. A lot of ownership and responsibility from day one.

      Cons

      It's still a very large firm and even though they try to keep the atmosphere entrepreneurial, the structures become stiffer and goals are not necessary reasonable or fair. Usually you are one from many - simply because of the sheer size of the company.

      Being the richest man on earth doesn't mean employees are treated fairly

      Software development engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation a bit higher than other companies (15-20%)

      Cons

      Actually, too much work for this higher compensation. They overload the employee so much, rather than hiring additional people. No care about the work-life balance, if you complain, you are fired. When someone leaves the project, they seek every possible chance not to refill the position, and the work is implicitly distributed among other employees. Work content is not technically challenging as one would expect, instead lots of routine and configuration work. The sprint is planned, and you plan your day during the daily stand-up, but you must be ready to do a lot of extra work, yet deliver everything on time.

      Pros

      People heard of Amazon and AWS

      Cons

      – Lower compensation – On-call for everyone – Work-Work balance – Top-to-bottom, manager first culture – The biggest technical debt you would find among big companies
