      Pros

      Very smart group. You'll learn a lot and also contribute/teach plenty.

      Cons

      Worklife balance sucks especially if you're in an operational heavy team, Project deadlines are unreal. Can be very disorganized at times. Tons of Egos but that's just the IT field in general. AWS struggles to understand what it means to be a sysEng. It seems their idea of sysEng tasks are whatever the devs cannot get to at the moment (this does not hold true for every team to be fair).

      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.
