Pros

AWS is an amazing company with well-structured processes and incredibly smart people. You get to work with some of the best minds in the industry, and there are endless opportunities to learn and grow. The overall compensation and benefits including RSU are strong compared to the market.

Cons

The internal competition can be intense at times, which makes the environment quite demanding. You need to be very proactive and resilient to succeed here.
