Pros

AWS has complex products, so learning new tools and technologies becomes a daily task. You always have something new to explore and discover—even experienced engineers aren't experts in everything at the company, so it empowers you to take initiative. I've felt appreciated in my work and motivated by my team. My team has been good at work-life balance most of the time, where my manager tells me to go home if I stay past 5:30.

Cons

On-call can be a taxing experience. Depending on the team, this can be one week in six. During on-call, you can get paged at any hour of the day or night to fix problems. While rewarding, it takes away some of the work-life balance.
