Pros

Scale and ownership. You'll work on systems serving millions of customers, and AWS genuinely gives SDE2s a lot of autonomy. You often own a service or component end-to-end, including design decisions, which accelerates growth fast.

Cons

Amazon mandates five days a week in office, with little flexibility, which has been a major source of discontent.
