      Pros

      Some AWS services have very interesting problems in distributed systems and scale.

      Cons

      Less than half the time is spent coding. The rest is ops and meetings. We focus too much on delivering new features with unrealistic deadlines and have to constantly deal with huge technical debt and ops.

      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.
