Work with smart people, build world class systems. Working in AWS doesn’t feel like working at a giant corporation most of the time.

Pros

* Good experience in designing for scale. Makes the first 3–4 years a period of growth. * Full ownership of the area, giving a startup-like breadth of work

Cons

* High operational burden, making SDE role seem like SRE * Too many "top-down" mandates, leaving little time to execute customer-impacting or career-building projects * Little understanding or support for phases where the personal commitments are high (parent of young kids during Covid lockdown)
