Pros

There is nothing great about this team.

Cons

AWS Infrastructure Finance is comprised of highly egoistic people This team is run by a head who rules with iron hand. Within this team, there is an inner circle of favorites to this head. This favoritism club is not formed on the basis of meritocracy but rather some random criteria known only to the ring leader. Now if you are unfortunate to join this team, only one of two things will happen to you - Either your will become part of this inner circle and thrive Or you will be mercilessly thrown out of the company after you have worked 90 hours per week on a regular basis. So this place is like Game of Thrones; If you are politically very smart and can throw your team mates under the bus at opportune moments, you will thrive. Else you will die (figuratively speaking). Not only this head is ruthless, her directs are some of extremely worse people. Few of her directs have no good education background nor the experience to reach to the position they currently occupy. These guys are unintelligent and often make fool of themselves in meetings with business partners. But they have sky-rocket egos making them among most hated people in the company. It will be a nightmare if you happen to work with these guys; there will be no directions provided to you and you will see your self going under the waters very fast.

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.
