Pros

I work as Data Center Operations in AWS Data Center. This company is very straight if it is about safety and security. For safety, I've worked in oil and gas company before and they are usually very strict about safety. I'll put AWS more strict about safety than any oil and gas company. For security, I've never seen any company that doesn't share their work location until the very last hour before I go to work on my first day. They do put their customer's data security at their highest priority. You won't seen any usb and hard drive leaving their data center. Their have the most complete and advanced equipment I've seen so far. They do have server lifter to take out server from height, so you can work taking in and out server alone. They are very brave in salary, even my previous employer cannot do something when seeing what AWS offering me. And their benefit is quite good for you and your family.

Cons

their workplace is very far away from the center of the town. a lot of my friend rent a condo because it is far from their home. and we get no compensation for renting this condo

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
