Pros

Most companies hire people for what they already know and you need to deliver results quickly. At AWS, they hire you if they believe that you can learn and they give you time to learn and build whatever you like on their platform. When you are ready to work with the customers, a big part of the job is continue to learn new things.

Cons

First couple of months is like drinking from a firehose. But it gets better.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
