Pros

Been working at AWS as a Solutions Architect for over three years now, it's been great experience for me so far. I work hard, like to learn new things, and care about my customers, those align very well with Amazon's leadership principles. I get to work with talented people at AWS and companies of various sizes(from the largest Fortune 500 to small startups) and use the latest greatest technologies in Big Data and AI/ML.

Cons

No free lunch (probably not a bad thing, and good pay and stock performance more than offset this)

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.
