      Pros

      Pays well in general, although lower on FAANG totem pole. Ability to freely work with AWS ecosystem and lots of opportunities to move around. Working with some truly excellent engineers. Great name recognition.

      Cons

      Stack ranking is used, can lead to toxic environments and managers. The overhead of development can be especially burdensome, with round after round of product meetings, design reviews, code reviews, as well as scrum ceremonies. Work life balance can be difficult as well.

      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.
