Pros

Most of co-workers are competent and friendly. AWS has exciting and challenging work every day.

Cons

Most managers don't have competent technical skills. They often don't know the priority of tasks and point you to the wrong direction, due to lack of technical skills. Most SDMs can't provide any useful technical assistance for customer issues, and all they do is to delegate the work to SDEs.

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.
