      Pros

      - Good compensation for Canada standards - Good benefits and lots of vacations and PTOs - Really good to work at my org in AWS. People are nice, inclusive and values a lot the mental health and well being of the employees. - Lots of learning and improving opportunities - Good infrastructure for work, "unlimited AWS services".

      Cons

      - The growth from SDE II and beyond is extremely hard and will depend a lot on your personality, skills, networking and a lot of extra effort - The better the org in term of work/life balance, the less are the opportunities for projects that can give you a promotion. - Annual compensation review is very limited and put a really wide range of professional levels in the same compensation bucket.

      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.
