Pros

- Good amount of interesting projects depending on the team. You get exposure to large-scale systems and real production traffic. - Smart coworkers overall. Most engineers are helpful and collaborative. - If you are proactive, there are good learning opportunities and chances to work with different AWS services. - Good place to build strong engineering fundamentals early in your career.

Cons

- Reorgs happen pretty frequently, which can cause projects to get reshuffled or priorities to change suddenly. - Work-life balance varies a lot by team. Some teams are chill, others can get pretty busy. - Career growth sometimes requires a lot of self-advocacy.
