Pros
  • As an AWS Data Lab architect, I get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry.
  • Leadership trusts me to get work done and to make the customer happy.
  • Compensation is very competitive.
  • Amazon actually lives its company values (they don't just preach them).
  • In so many ways, working at Amazon feels like a startup in the freedom and flexibility that they give you to learn, try new things, etc.
Cons

Although in many ways it feels like a startup, there are some areas where it inevitably feels like a massive company. One of those areas is the number of documentation, information, and training portals. It's hard to keep track of all the different internal sites during the onboarding process.
