Pros

- Opportunity to learn new things and work on solution which would be adapted by mullions of customer very fast. - Scale of AWS is just huge and it comes with some unique challenges and only handful of companies operates at this scale. - Opportunity to work with some really smart people and learn from them. - Flexibility of working from home or office (Ignoring COVID situation) really depends on your manager. For the most part manager will work with you to ensure you have flexibility to work during your time and place, as long as you are productive and doesn't prevent you from attending critical meetings. Having young kids this was the huge plus for me.

Cons

- Work life balance varies significantly from team to team. Everyone will have different experience. In my 6 years experience, I can say Amazon as a company has a long way to go. - Don't see much growth in compensation even after long tenure. - Always found working on too many competing priorities. - I don't recall our team was fully staffed at any given time.
