      Big tech but not optimistic about the future - Software Engineer Amazon Web Services Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay, especially for those entering big tech for the first time

      Cons

      Your experience and WLB will be very team dependent, but quite a few horror stories. Leadership doesn’t seem to know how to grow the company, just the laziest way to cut costs (layoffs)

      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
