      Pros

      smart people, flexible hours, best cloud infrastructure in the world. Overall very talented people working with each other, especially AWS has some of the best calibers in the industry.

      Cons

      poor compensations, on-calls duties, management sometimes don't know what the heck they are doing. Compensation is a joke compared to other competitors in the industry. For the amount of work that people do, at least have some respect and pay them properly!

      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.
