Pros

You learn a lot from your peers and very smart people. Everyone acts like owners meaning you don’t have to follow up every time.

Cons

AWS ruthlessly tracks you performance and if you slip in any way you can find yourself out of a job.

- Depending on team, tech debt can be a problem - A lot of the time you are working on something someone wants released to get a promotion not for customer value
