Pros
  • Management cares about the career growth of individual contributors.
  • Pay is on par with other big tech companies.
  • Experiments are encouraged, and failures are welcomed with open arms.
  • Diversity is a top priority for leadership.
  • AWS is a very well-run organization. WLB and employee satisfaction seem much better than the rest of Amazon.
Cons
  • 401k matching percentage is not what you'd expect from a trillion-dollar company.
  • Startup-like culture; this company is not for everyone.
  • Level of frugality often leads to employee frustration.
Advice to Management

Please review your 401k matching policy. Employees should feel that you care about their financial future. Remember that you are no longer competing with Walmart for top talent, but with the likes of Google, Apple, and Facebook.
