      Pros

      There are a lot of learning opportunities both in team projects as well as tech talks that happen every week. I would say Amazon Web Services is a school which excel in Distributed Systems.

      Cons

      Too much work load. This is connected to the learning I mentioned before. Much of the time is spent in learning which causes to work long hours. But I like this way

      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.
