Pros

AWS is a great place to work on technically challenging problems and provides a huge scope to grow as an engineer.

Cons

Do not accept AWS India offer as the leadership is strictly against having teams in India. Even if they setup a team in India, there is no job security and you can be laid off anytime with no notice. Also forget about work life balance as it is very operationally heavy
