Pros

Competitive Salary, native AWS knowledge

Cons

You are expected to oncall on Weekend and public holidays and nights on the weekday. PIP culture, if you do not work well with your manager, you are the one who will be sacrificed. 10% pip rate, someone has to be selected. Because of this PIP culture, your teammates are not your friends, some people think you are their enemy.

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.
