Pros

1. Compensation is great and unmatchable by most other tech companies except few like Meta, Google. You get more stocks the next year if you get better rating in the current year rating cycle. 2. Opportunity to work on some of the latest technologies and native AWS services. 3. AWS dev account to experiment and learn

Cons

1. Unrealistic deadlines. 2. Terrible work life balance.
