Pros

You get to contribute to changing the way AWS operates and provide a great experiences for the customer. Seeing real time impact to what you do which changes the way teh AWS looks and operates is very rewarding

Cons

Most of senior management is an echo chamber of "yes men/women" instead of having the engineer in mind along with the customer. Changes implemented seldom will work toward a harmonious work life balance and often will result in over stress and over work of the engineers and mid-low level management. On top of all of that, due to the echo chamber of back patting "behind the desk" leadership, policies are put in place to drive pointless metrics instead of focusing on their mission... "Strive to be the world's best employer".
