Pros

1. You get to learn and improvise large scale complex distributed systems 2. Small "2-pizza" size teams makes it easy to draw goals and work towards it(read as - not just goals coming from top levels) 3. Competitive compensation matching other FAAN and beating G most of the time 4. You can see majority of the people working towards Customer Obsession, and very few with "vest & rest" attitude. 5. Fortunately my team(P13N) offers great WLB

Cons

1. When joining a seasoned service team, learning these complex systems could take a few months to make real contribution and it's easy to experience imposter syndrome 2. On-calls during high velocity events(Prime Day/Holidays) could be stressful.

Pros

The technology and tools they use is amazing. It is great to work with systems in production at a scale which we normally only read about on how they scale and operate.

Cons

So much to learn, and so much to support, it will be difficult to manage if you are looking for a 8-9 hours a day work.
