      Pros

      1. You get to learn and improvise large scale complex distributed systems 2. Small "2-pizza" size teams makes it easy to draw goals and work towards it(read as - not just goals coming from top levels) 3. Competitive compensation matching other FAAN and beating G most of the time 4. You can see majority of the people working towards Customer Obsession, and very few with "vest & rest" attitude. 5. Fortunately my team(P13N) offers great WLB

      Cons

      1. When joining a seasoned service team, learning these complex systems could take a few months to make real contribution and it's easy to experience imposter syndrome 2. On-calls during high velocity events(Prime Day/Holidays) could be stressful.

      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.
