Pros

The scale of the problems you solve is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart engineers and have access to cutting-edge internal tools. The compensation package (TotalTC) is very competitive, and having AWS on your resume opens doors globally.

Cons

The "On-call" rotations can be quite intense depending on your team. Work-life balance is highly team-dependent and can often lean toward long hours. The corporate hierarchy can sometimes feel bureaucratic when trying to launch new initiatives.
