Pros

The pay at AWS is competitive, even compared to other FAANG companies. The company tries to follow the leadership principles.

Cons

After a few months of onboarding at AWS, you'll get assigned an on-call rotation, where you'll be working longer and more stressful hours. As a salaried employee, there is no extra pay for working night and day.

Advice to Management

Offer more flexibility on hours worked, such as a way to bank hours accrued while on-call, or the option to get them paid out as overtime.
