Pros

AWS pays great, there's no hiding that. You will work for it.

Cons

Toxic culture. Cut throat performance reviews. Mandatory stack ranking with managing out poor-performers. Lots of politics. Many long days and weekends. No boundaries with work-life balance. Oncall shifts can consistently have you sleep less than 4 hours a night.
