Pros

Smart people, challenging projects, developer centered. But you have to believe in owning your own quality (because you carry pagers)

Cons

experiences may vary between teams, stack ranking system. Not for everyone

Pros

Smart people who take ownership. Managers who don't get in the way and are above average. In general, you'll learn quite a bit.

Cons

Growing so fast has it's challenges, it can seem somewhat wild, wild west at times. Dealing with and learning the Amazon specific infrastructure can be daunting and feel somewhat tedious. It's still mostly a Java shop.
