Pros

Their architecture, an internal ecosystem. Some of the best minds are working around you, visionary management.

Cons

You will not know how much you lose until you come out. Amazon has the ability to suck you dry – and make you enjoy it at the same time. There are a lot of pros, as listed, but you will never know when you are going to be the scapegoat for something silly, like a server peaking its CPU.

On-call rotation is another thing that can feed on your life like a dementor.

But beware – you will not notice any of this unless you come out, or they send you out.
