Amazon Web Services Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"If you want to be a robot, and do what you are told, this is the place for you. If you are looking to grow and advance your career, it all depends on your supervisor. Customer Support is the bottom of the food chain, so the experience is very different from other positions."

"I worked for Amazon for about two years and within the first year felt the burn out. Long hours are expected and I was always on-call. The benefits are great, and the managers are understanding of when time off is needed, but the work always continued to pile up."

"Great company but work about 10-12 hours a day on average. So many products and services to sell its hard to keep up. Management is cutthroat and hard to please. Expectations are not clearly defined to measure your performance."

"AWS is one of the fastest moving and most technical environment where I worked under. It was fun to be able to work with some of the most intelligent people in the Cloud Computing Industry. Everyone was extremely knowledgable with their domain. However, I believe the company is lacking the culture of providing coaching for future leaders."

"Good learning environment but also quite siloed and difficult to achieve a meaningful impact without campaigning for support."

"Good place to learn and grow."

"I have been working here for almost 2 years. Things move fast here, you need to work for ~50 hour a week but you could also learn a lot from it."

"Amazing challenge for those willing"

"AWS is an amazing company and place to work. So many talented and great people trying to positively change the world."

"I have worked at Amazon for my summer internship. The experience is quite challenging, especially if you have no prior work experience. Since, I worked in an intern capacity I can't say much about what it would be like as a full-time developer. Also, it depends on where you are placed (ORG) and team. Manager and mentor also play a large part in your internship experience as they define the work culture."

"I have worked for Amazon Web Services (AWS) for a year. AWS is financially solid with a service that most companies desire - the Cloud. Anyone who wishes to work at AWS should be prepared to abide by the 14 Leadership Principles. They truly are the basis for Amazon's culture and success."

"I worked in AWS for many years and I love the passionate and diverse culture that it offers. You can be a startup within a large organization and people across different levels will listen to you. The highlight of the AWS culture is the real and genuine customer obsession."

"I have worked with AWS since December 2018, the place is great and gives a lot of opportunities to learn"

"I haven’t worked for AWS for very long, but the environment can be sometimes hostile. The benefits are nice, and the pay is above average, however their current metric tracking structure causes issues."

"Great place for a builder!"
