      AWS is a tough but rewarding place to work - Software Development Manager Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      Strong culture (ask anyone about the Leadership Principals), attempting to stay nimble (it's always Day 1) and autonomy.

      Cons

      As it grows, there are so many teams doing similar things that it's hard to know what impact you're having. In the Solution Architecture org there are many teams attempting to move fast and doing similar things but held back by over-burdensome quality gates.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
