Pros

AWS fosters innovation. Engineers from many teams collaborate to get things done and iterate on improving the ecosystem as a whole. It's truly an amazing process to behold. - Always innovating. - Some of the best engineers in the world at your fingertips. - Learning never stops. - Diving deeper as time goes on. - Flexible with working from home (team dependent). - Fun environment.

Cons

- Can be incredibly stressful. - Workloads tend to be high and backlogs pile up quickly. - Incredibly high bar to get in the door, which makes team growth slow. - Very little learning time allocated to employees, and work tends to cut into personal time.

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.
