Pros

Exposure to an amazing portfolio of cloud computing technologies. Some great customers to work with. Smart colleagues. Good to have on your resume.

Cons

Ultimately you take no responsibility as you are only advising and cannot impact customer decisions directly. Lots of day 2 thinking by newer managers. Return to office does not apply to field positions (yet).

Pros

1) These are some of the most talented folks you will ever work with 2) Depending on the role you can have some nice flexibility 3) We compensate better than your average bear 4) Having this on your resume is like nitrous in your tank 5) You have a lot of opportunities to Learn & Be Curious

Cons

1) Far more bureaucratic than one would suspect 2) In an effort to always raise the bar, humanity and empathy can be lost 3) Leadership can be immune to an understanding of what is being asked of the folks doing the work 4) Easy to work yourself to death and to get to a point where you burnout 5) The quality of leadership is spotty. Some leaders get it while others were promoted to a level of incompetence/leadership is an afterthought 6) Every decision seeming requires a doc... and every doc requires multiple doc reads. Your job can easily go from Are Right, A Lot to that of a writer trying to get your book published and working with a cranky editor
