Pluspunten

* Steep learning curve — you’ll learn fast because you’ll have to * A few genuinely kind colleagues who’ll help you navigate the chaos * Lots of exposure to different tools, clients, industries, and responsibilities

Minpunten

* Toxic culture - In just 7 months, 6 employees voluntarily resigned, wiping out an entire team. Instead of acknowledging this, management together with some AWS folks spun a story that people were let go due to performance (without any evidence to back this up), or that the roles were being “automated.” Oddly enough, they’re still posting desperate LinkedIn job ads to backfill those same roles. These “truths” have been shared within the AWS partner ecosystem, damaging the professional reputations of former employees who made sincere efforts to contribute to the company’s growth. The situation reflects a culture more focused on saving face than taking accountability or supporting its people. * Management is more focused on looking good to AWS than building a healthy business. Expect some creative number-inflating exercises. * Management claims to welcome questions, but when you ask, they either ignore you, get annoyed, or make you feel incompetent — even if the information was never shared with you. * Emotional manipulation is a management tool here. Daily phrases include: “You’re ruining your career” or “This is going to be escalated” - all framed as motivation. Curious about the management style? Watch the OceanGate documentary on Netflix. It brought back memories for me. * Expect to work beyond office hours and be available constantly * Pay is probably going to be bad. Incentives can change at any time — and usually do. The structure makes it hard to actually earn them. * High attrition rate — team members keep leaving, and their workload gets dumped on whoever is left, with no slowdown in pace * AWS “partnership” – Working with some AWS stakeholders can be highly stressful. The relationship often feels one-sided, with constant pressure to meet their expectations — regardless of feasibility or impact. You’ll be working with multiple AWS contacts, each with different KPIs, and you'll be expected to bend over backwards to help them hit their numbers — sometimes at any cost. When they say dance, you're expected to dance for them. There’s little room for mutual respect or collaboration. And unfortunately, your manager won’t advocate for you — they’ll side with AWS every time.

Pluspunten

You will get to experience AWS stacks and bleeding edge frameworks There's a lot to be learnt as you will be exposed to a lot of opportunities

Minpunten

Having the newest techstack dont' always yield the best result, on the contrary it may cause more harm than good due to technology stack that remains unproven and untested. This company has the tendency to use unproven techstacks which are fragile and could damaging in the long term. Long working hours Lack of senior engineers Lack of processes
