Pros

Ok if you come out of varsity or college to set you up for your next career step; nothing more than a stepping stone.

Cons

Where to begin. Aws will make you stupid. If you've ever done anything worthwhile in your career, this will be one giant leap in the wrong direction. You want to work in a call centre, then look no further, this place is for you. Tenure is rewarded over talent. Leadership principles are a joke, there is no customer obsession, just a bunch of people trying to 'level up' You want to build? Then walk away.

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.
