      Pros

      - genuinely challenging work - LP questions tend to filter out the usual bad actor coworkers - AWS experience just by working with it day in day out

      Cons

      - high chance of landing on a team with bad work life balance thanks to spineless leadership - PIP culture is real, particularly in bad orgs - Lots of bleeding edge work on age old tech - S-team has completely lost the plot. Jassy is the absolute worst CEO

      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.
