Pros

The ability to work in a quick and agile development structure with actual leadership backup. Came from a company prior that left me consistently wondering when leadership would negatively impact my job. That hasn't happened at AWS and I've only ever been encouraged.

Cons

If you let yourself, you do run short on time and can feel overwhelmed.

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.
