Pros

Salary is good. Work from home seems to be becoming the norm, nobody is returning in big numbers to the office and AWS are not pushing it.

Cons

You will be massively overworked, you will be expected to achieve your goals with little to no project management tools (all in house - rubbish tooling), the teams that you work with have such a high turnover of staff that you need to reinvent the very basic project tasks over and over again. The TPM's manage far too many projects and you will burn out after 3 years.... max! The bar is dropping for TPM's and Engineers for diversity, you are not working with the best anymore. Once you are in Promotion is harder than getting into AWS, its a massive bureaucracy of reasons not to promote you.

Pros

You may learn a lot, I mean, there is no date that you would think "maybe I have nothing to learn anymore for a while". The things I've learnt in the past year are more than my last 5 years. A lot of top guys are working together. You need to figure it out that how to survive and thrive among them. The pay is OK. AWS won't grant you a lot like double your pay at the beginning. But I think no matter how high is your last pay, AWS would make it even at least or have an appropriate rise-up for you. No big deal.

Cons

A little bit frustrating if you didn't store enough energy. Employee benefits is alright. Hey, where are those bananas you're talking about???
