Pros

-Getting to work in an emerging industry that is dynamic and exciting - Providing solutions to end customers that will help them save time and money - Learning from some of the best and brightest leaders in tech while having the support I need to advance my career

Cons

*Not necessarily Cons but things to be aware of* - Being an LDR can be challenging especially during the onboarding period. - Also, LDR's must have a high level of accountability and integrity while representing AWS in the Public or Commercial Sector. Self-motivation is a must.

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
