      Pros

      - Interesting Distributed Systems work - All the AWS tech you want to use without worrying about the cost - Fun coworkers, but that varies from team to team - No politics - Relatively good pay plus even better stock options (RSUs)

      Cons

      - Oncall can suck (also varies from team to team) - Steady attrition in some orgs, some teams never hit their necessary headcount despite recruiting - getting more bureaucratic every year

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
