Pros

People that know what they're doing. Lots of interesting projects floating around.

Cons

Constant pressure to get more done faster. Oncall shifts. Being pulled in different directions by different projects. Constantly having to trouble shoot systems you don't fully understand without time to learn it.

Pros

The scale at which AWS operates is just unparalleled. One gets to learn a lot through direct on-hands experience. Fast-paced environment. You get to see your product/code ship fast.

Cons

Pager duty is a bit of a drag, because you can get paged in the middle of the night. Depending on the team, pager duty may end up being for a day, every few days or a week every few months.
