Pros

The below has been my experience, but it may just depend on which org and team you find yourself in.

AWS hires great people across the board. They are the best part about working at AWS. You will learn a lot from them and grow a lot, especially for such a large enterprise job (depends on your team/org). You get to play with AWS tech for "free" and learn how the internals work.

Your work has the potential to have a big impact on the cloud market. You get to handle your own ops.

Cons

The below has been my experience, but it may just depend on which org and team you find yourself in.

Some of the projects you work on can be uninspiring workarounds of one-way door legacy decisions. Middle management likes to tie product launches and deadlines to "AWS public event A" instead of focusing on product fidelity. You get to handle your own ops.
