      Pros

      You get to work on a ton of stuff and use the latest AWS technologies and learn how one of the biggest software companies in the world manages its software processes

      Cons

      Not a fan of being on-call, particularly as the number of services your team owns grows, since we're always writing new services and many issues only come up in production. Very fast paced work environment, and very smart coworkers, doesn't leave a lot for work-life balance

      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.
