Pros

At AWS, you can both do work that affects millions of customers, and have the freedom to experiment and innovate at work. Also, there are several teams working at different parts of the company, and changing between them is very common.

Cons

It takes a while to feel like you can really contribute, and there is a general feel of learning to swim by jumping into the deep end of the pool. But there are numerous resources to help you.

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.
