Pros

Great projects and talented peers. Get to work on cutting edge technologies. AWS is a great org. Do not go to Retail.

Cons

Fast paced culture. Can burn out. Not for everyone who’s seeking WLB. The development is ops heavy where you work on ops most of the time on big services.

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.
