Pros

Working on AWS as a Software Development Engineer has given me the tools to understand the complexity of running and supporting a cloud service. These tools have made me a better professional: my available resources are abundant, and there's still room for improvement.

Cons

The operational burden is huge. Some teams have very rigid roadmaps. Sometimes features are prioritized instead of fixing underlying architectural problems.

Advice to Management

Don't neglect tech debt.
