Pros

Good insurance benefits, good stock options. Work hours are flexible, WFH times are possible. Nice pay, extremely intelligent people to work around. Company paid happy hour every two weeks (Yes with EToH). If you make a mistake, own up to it and correct it without penalties to your career.

Cons

You write it, you support it (On call to fix it too). Small teams = lots of on call time. Just getting the System Engineer support model in place to take the on call for the developers.

Pros

AWS fosters innovation. Engineers from many teams collaborate to get things done and iterate on improving the ecosystem as a whole. It's truly an amazing process to behold. - Always innovating. - Some of the best engineers in the world at your fingertips. - Learning never stops. - Diving deeper as time goes on. - Flexible with working from home (team dependent). - Fun environment.

Cons

- Can be incredibly stressful. - Workloads tend to be high and backlogs pile up quickly. - Incredibly high bar to get in the door, which makes team growth slow. - Very little learning time allocated to employees, and work tends to cut into personal time.
