Pros

I learned alot here really quickly and met a ton of talented engineers. While not the most competitive salary, was still pretty good

Cons

Heavy burn out culture, Even when things are going well you can only keep doing it for so long before tiring out.

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.
