Pros

1. Compensation is great and unmatchable by most other tech companies except few like Meta, Google. You get more stocks the next year if you get better rating in the current year rating cycle. 2. Opportunity to work on some of the latest technologies and native AWS services. 3. AWS dev account to experiment and learn

Cons

1. Unrealistic deadlines. 2. Terrible work life balance.

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.
