Amazon

AWS still feels like a start-up, but without the constant worrying about whether or not we're going to make payroll.

It's a fun, challenging place to work. The vibe is great, the team is supportive, and the marketspace is exciting.

Growth leads to a lot of gray areas. As the company expands, it creates a bit of a vacuum that new people and processes have to fill. This can create a fair bit of uncertainty, and if that's something you struggle with, then you might find working at AWS to be quite challenging. Alternatively, if you work well in situations where there isn't always a go-to person or process, then AWS is a place where you can really thrive.

The Embark onboarding process is great.

A few more opportunities to shadow real-time customer meetings before being thrown off the deep end would be grand.
