Pros

AWS developed tools to build and deploy at scale in a very objective manner. This means that it can be very easy to move forward toward the right answer where other companies would have rounds of technical discussion.

Cons

Due to the straight-forward nature of the development process, there is little room for creativity and the problems you solve seem minor at first, but have impact at scale.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of information can be learned with onboarding. You learn a lot about Amazon Culture and their mission relating to customers. You will also learn about the workflow of Amazon based systems.

Cons

I believe their can be a better guide for onboarding in terms of role based work, such as offering more coding exercises/challenges to build up on skills and to familiarize more with review processes.
