Pros

Acceptable salary. With AWS experience you can get a ton of interviews.

Cons

Bad WLB, Focus/PIP culture. In mature teams, most work are just bug fix and operations. Hard to get meaningful projects. When you are piped and out for interview you need something to be proud of.

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.
