Pros

The scale at which AWS operates is just unparalleled. You get to learn a lot through direct, on-hands experience.

It's a fast-paced environment. You get to see your product/code ship fast.

Cons

Pager duty is a bit of a drag because you can get paged in the middle of the night. Depending on the team, pager duty may end up being for a day, every few days, or a week every few months.
