Pros

You really learn a lot if you are a new grad. AWS do have some cut edge tech and docs/designs docs are plenty.

Cons

Oncall, pip, operational work is overwhelming. Stupid HR/Manager could put you on PIP for no reason.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
