Pros

Fixed shift hours, So likely no one will bother you after work hours(few exceptions), access to world of AWS Services and good for passionate learners.

Cons

You will stacked every quarter againt the fellow colleagues and metrics has more importance than how you contribute to the team as an individual. Team has no clear vision since the introduction to AI, forcing people to adopt new changes every week without proper training. Not worth to be in this role more than 3 years.

Pros

I worked with a highly talented and motivated team of engineers who cared deeply about quality and ownership. There was a strong engineering culture with a high bar for code reviews and long-term maintainability. The work provided great exposure to building complex, large-scale systems, and I had opportunities to contribute to impactful features and UI architecture. Collaboration with cross-functional partners, including design and product, was generally strong and helped drive thoughtful, user-focused solutions.

Cons

On-call expectations could be quite demanding at times, depending on the team, which occasionally impacted work-life balance. There was also a consistently high feature delivery pace, which sometimes made it challenging to balance speed with deeper technical improvements or long-term investments. Prioritization could feel heavily weighted toward delivery timelines over iteration or refinement.
