Any better orgs to join within AWS?

Have a L6 PMT offer at AWS for 330k, full remote. Current tc at workday is 250k. So debating whether to join or not.

Is wlb and culture as atrocious as Blind says it is? What are some pros about AWS over other companies?

    Pros: some great colleagues, potentially interesting work on cutting edge projects. Growth can be quite good with proper support from management if you are able to perform.
    Cons: Amazon culture is cutthroat, foot always needs to be on the gas pedal always since no room to coast ever.

    At L6, the culture isn’t quite as horrible since you should have some amount of influence on direction. How strongly the culture is felt is largely dependent on management. My team on AWS is pretty good, feel free to ping me for name if you want, although Idk if they are hiring PMs and I should note that I am leaving Amazon next month.

    Going from workday seems like a no brainer to me if you want a better name on your resume. Since you went through the whole process while knowing amazons rep, I’m also assuming you aren’t happy where you are at. If worst comes to worst you can view it as a learning experience.

      Thanks! Will dm, i only interviewed for fun (and in case I didn’t get senior promotion at workday, but I ended up getting it). Still, comp is higher at amazon. “Brand name” doesn’t matter to me. Looking for where I can learn and grow, and grow tc

      What about joining AWS at L7 in current state of things. Is it a solid time to join still? I'm interviewing for Sr SDM.

  • From my understanding it depends on the team. I've also heard good stories about Prime Video, though that isn't AWS.
