      Great place to learn, not grow - Software Development Engineer (SDE) Amazon Web Services Employee Review

      Pros

      Able to work on some of the biggest cloud products offered. Learned a great deal about software design and architecture, the end-to-end development cycle, and how to collaborate with massive teams.

      Cons

      Promotions are dangled like a carrot for months, or even years. Everyone's manager wants a product delivered yesterday, and they will hound you for updates until it is done. If another shiny product comes along, and takes your manager's attention - your work suddenly gets deprioritized and your days randomized. Then they delay your promotion for not delivering on time. Don't get me started on the on-call.

      Pros

      Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

      Cons

      Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

      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
