Great onboarding - Human Resources Specialist Amazon Web Services Employee Review

Pros

Have only been with the company about 3 months and so far my time has been focused on learning rather than delivery. Not everyone gets to do that, but that 3-month window is the company's goal, and it's a vast improvement over places I've worked at before. I feel like I will know what I am doing before I am expected to do it.

Cons

Working on a global team within my function has plenty of benefits, but one downside is that it can take time to get things done when coordinating with people on the other side of the world. Every MNC faces that, of course, but there seems to be more intercontinental collaboration here. But this is a VERY minor "con."

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
