Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of learning opportunities both in team projects as well as tech talks that happen every week. I would say Amazon Web Services is a school which excel in Distributed Systems.

Cons

Too much work load. This is connected to the learning I mentioned before. Much of the time is spent in learning which causes to work long hours. But I like this way
