Don't take a job at AWS

Pros

There are some great people still there, you can find pockets of those that are true Amazonians, and that still hold the leadership principals to heart.

Cons

Too many new people, there are a lot of people that haven't taken the time to learn Amazon's Leadership Principals, and they are bringing their bad culture into the organization. Leadership is too busy to deal with it, and they are spending more time on "team events" instead of solving problems, building better mechanisms, and delivering results.

Not your ordinary sales job

Recommend

Pros

The "Day 1" atmosphere remains. Lots of smart people doing lots of smart things at top speed. Great team support, pay, and benefits. Work-life balance is recognized and supported. As an L6, I feel empowered to make my own decisions and act on them. You have lots of flexibility here to grow in whatever way you want.

Cons

Everything moves so fast that it's a bit like the wild west. I sometimes fear the "Day 1" mentality is used as an excuse for the chaotic virtual environment and lack of standardization of internal tools and processes. If you can handle that, it's a great place to work.
