Pros

Myriad of teams available at AWS that vary in "speed" and complexity. This allows an employee to find and move between teams to find something compatible with their own career goals and team interests. For most teams, work-life balance is flexible even if co-workers won't necessarily exercise that freedom

Cons

Average tenure here is short, and with AWS constantly growing, there are some growing pains related to orgs and teams losing generational knowledge regarding their services. As a new employee there is lots of AWS specific knowledge to learn that can often be overwhelming. Expect to be somewhat clueless for the first six months.

Pros

Flexible, empowering environment with clear responsibilities and promotion paths. A company of equals.

Cons

Slightly chaotic by design, need to be self-starting. Not good for passive individuals or those who want to be "led" or spoon-fed through their career.
