Pros

-They don't just throw you to to the wolves. Their onboarding process is very detailed and thorough. You go through 2 to 3 months of training before they put you in front of a customer. They want to make sure you that you feel comfortable when presenting AWS cloud solutions. -Good pay -Great team, work environment is very flexible

Cons

-Large company, can be overwhelming when trying to find answers and where to go -If you're not technical, learning AWS cloud solutions can be challenging -They require their employees to take an AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam within 90 days of employment and you must pass it. This exam can be challenging. You have to study for it while going through onboarding. -As you promote within the company, your work life balance is centered more around work than anything else.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
