Great to have a large company name on your resume. You can work on as many services/projects as you want and interact with all sorts of folks. If you want to work 24x7, you can surely find work to do and even do work not related to your primary job to help develop new skills. If in a pre-sales role, you literally can travel anywhere and travel very comfortably.
Golden handcuffs for RSUs and 401k match. Each time you change roles, you "reset" the clock to be eligible for a leveling promotion. Not everyone at AWS is actually smart, as there are a few deadweight folks who, for some reason, are still around. They literally don't do the work that is expected at their level.
Lots of politics between service teams. Public sector teams don't get the same attention as commercial teams.
The level process in general is odd, especially if you have a manager who is an amateur and doesn't understand the promo cycle process; they can't appropriately advocate for you.
New folks get hired in with hardly any relevant experience to the role they are hired for, but will be hired a level higher than most tenured folks. Your future lies in the hands of your manager. If they suck, you are screwed.
Management will play games to keep you from leaving, but won't do their part. Easy to get caught up in working 24/7 while sacrificing family life or work-life balance.
Reward those who deserve to be rewarded. Especially those who have given their job a priority where it greatly impacts the bottom line, business, and revenue when compared to others in the organization.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
Not a good experience. The technical interviewer was following a set of questions. Any deviation was not received with a positive outcome. The STAR format did not work as expected. I asked additional questions for more information, but the interviewe
I found the process as a whole very coherent. In the first stage, I underwent a technical test with Solutions Architect content. In the second, I had a call with someone from the Recruitment team. She spoke about Amazon and the STAR method, which w
