Pros

- Good place to learn how to build systems on an incredibly large scale - Good opportunity for new graduate SDEs - Good overall engineering practices followed throughout Amazon

Cons

- A lot of skills you learn here might not be transferrable elsewhere due to a strong focus on internal tooling (e.g. CI/CD, internal serverless compute platform/programming language) - Work often tends to feel slow due to the "away team" culture that can slow down development
