At Amazon (AWS), I have the best toolbox to learn and grow. People here are respectful and high achievers. They really abide by the Leadership Principles (LP), which can help you grow personally and professionally.
You can find many employee communities, which makes it easier to belong and practice your culture.
Flexible: Although there is a lot to do (Bias for Execution), there is flexibility that allows for work-life balance. The LP of "Hire and Develop the Best" means there is a lot of focus on employee well-being.
Compensation is competitive, but Total Comp is also dependent upon RSUs and therefore share price.
Difficult to get promoted (not impossible). You have to build a body of work showcasing your impact outside of daily responsibilities. Since everyone here is a high achiever, the bar is set quite high.
Large company, can be difficult to get upwards visibility.
There seem to be too many services at AWS. It allows AWS to innovate quickly but can get confusing to learn.
Continue the focus on "Hire and Develop the best".
