Pros
Smart people Generally good technology You will work with very smart and driven people. AWS is a huge market leader and is very useful to startup, small, and medium size companies. Enterprises are the current target and if public cloud takes off could transform Amazon to a top software company.
Cons
Work-life balance Difficulty in measuring tasks The company and each group has an infinite amount of work. The "con" is knowing how to determine what to do and what not to do. Priority 2 items simply don't get done. Getting used to the pace and the triaging of work assignments is critical to success.
