      Pros

      Love the culture. Love the immediate growth and responsibilities and ownership. Love my manager. Love my colleagues. Very fun environment even when owning one of the most stressful products.

      Cons

      You will be doing a LOT of devops work as a software engineer because : A- Amazon is VERY frugal (even a little with your raises) B= It will teach you ownership of your code deployments. CSTech is a little too much into the "customer obsession", which is good for some people, but if you cannot handle the stress and the constant busy oncall, then apply to AWS instead. You will have oncall no matter what though.

      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.
