Pros

Smart people who take ownership.

Managers who don't get in the way and are above average.

In general, you'll learn quite a bit.

Cons

Growing so fast has its challenges. It can seem somewhat like the Wild West at times.

Dealing with and learning the Amazon-specific infrastructure can be daunting and feel somewhat tedious.

It's still mostly a Java shop.
