Pros
Working as an AWS account manager, you are selling some of the most exciting and bleeding edge solutions in IT infrastructure. Prospects are extremely interested in speaking with you and most customers are ones looking to disrupt their respective businesses by going to the cloud. You are forced to stay up to date on the latest products and enhancements. Also, AWS typically pays well given a qualified background.
Cons
Too many to mention. A good summary: -You end up managing your manager when you focus should be on generating revenue -Some managers prioritize their own tasks and deadlines over your own customers' priorities -Confrontational management: highlights your mistakes and shortcomings in front of other team members. Pits team members against each other by asking what you think of your team members -Commission cap: the variable component is limited and accelerators are capped. The bulk of your pay is in salary. Little chance of knocking it out of the park -Microsoft + Oracle culture: leadership and senior team members are hired from these companies and therefore all the negative aspects of company culture exist - bureaucracy, stack ranking, managing up, etc.
