      Seems not a long-term company to work at.

      Pros

      I'm working at AWS. The system is well made but also it's complicated enough to let you spend your time only to learn it for a year long.

      Cons

      It's a sort of survival game here. Also it seems the company doesn't care about employee's departure. There's always many people on the line willing to join the team but once they join the team sooner or later many look for another opportunity. Management layer is filled with non-engineering people who mostly care about numbers. You should expect working more harder here even weekend. Engineers are responsible to everything that includes operations, deployment and on-call support. Which is fine but I don't feel it's that much cooperative environment. Visibility management is a must here.

      Hard work, but a great learning experience.

      Pros

      A great opportunity to work with talented, friendly folks tackling some very big problems of scale. Not many jobs present you with so many opportunities to invent and fix things. Working with a mature toolset in a stimulating environment presents a great platform from which to learn and grow.

      Cons

      It's all too easy to slip into overwork. With all of the challenges around you, if you really take ownership, you may find yourself with an endless list of things to get through in a day. It can be hard to stay focused, and the operational burden of some teams can be huge. Being on-call is no joke.
