Some good, some bad, but well worth it if you make the effort
Some good, some bad, but well worth it if you make the effort
AWS can be a good place to work. You will learn a tremendous amount, gain skills in ways that will contribute to your career growth if you seek those opportunities, and have the resources of a massive company at your disposal.
Opportunity is endless within Amazon, but you need to be able to work within its peculiar culture to be successful.
In a leadership role, much of your time ends up being focused on Amazon problems and not customer problems. The company has grown so rapidly that it's far more disjointed than it should be. Like any huge organization, internal bureaucratic processes are impersonal and can be a challenge in managing your team.
The sheer number of programs and teams is impossible to keep track of. They need to be rationalized.
