Pros

AWS employs the smartest people I have ever met. I'm continually impressed by our engineers and their talent, intelligence and capability.

Cons

We treat these smart people terribly. The company is a meat grinder with no focus at all on retention or career progression. PMs/TPMs are not respected here.

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.
