Pros
I was a college hire at AWS. In two years time I grew from an entry level engineer to Senior Engineer and than to a Solutions Architect. I got to work with super smart people who challenged me to be at my very best. If you are passionate about your work, love unique challenges and want a path to accelerated growth, this is the company for you. There are a lot of opportunities to learn in Amazon from internal training to attending conferences and to switching teams. The learning curve never ends but all of it requires dedication and passion. If you are looking for a laid back 9-5 job this is not a company for you.
Cons
- Demanding environment you have to be at your very best to grow in the company. - Benefits are not the industry best but are above average. - Constant need to learn and grow yourself to be successful.
