      Pros

      I am working as SDE on AWS for 3 years. The projects are most about customer facing features and internal re-architecture and optimization. You can see the real impact of your work and feel excited about it. The problems to solve are very challenge in term of scalability, latency and customer variety. I learn a lot from AWS.

      Cons

      Low compensation compared to other 1st and 2nd tier tech companies. No free food. If there is bad leadership, you may feel pain because of unrealistic expectation and wrong product direction.

      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.
