1st FAANG Interview

I hope all is well. Im a Linux admin who has been trying to learn coding (JS). Besides that I had a AWS recruiter reach out to me informing me about different engineering and Analyst positions. First i said i wasnt interested due to these positions location (Herndon/Arlington VA) I live in DC about an hour out. She told me that these positions will call for me to be in a building where i cant bring personal devices and i would need a clearance due to me handling DOD files. Can i get advice on the culture at AWS? I was thinking to just settle for an analyst and she said that they can have me shadow an engineer 6-12 months to transition to engineer writing codes etc. 1 work from home day a week by the way🙄.. i just dont know the process for analyst and aws work life balance etc. thanks so much

I've heard AWS generally is pretty intense, but it's super dependent on the team too since AWS is as large as a big tech company by itself. Lot of friends said he finds the work very interesting though and is learning a lot. Not sure about the analyst role, but I think you'll likely be building reporting systems / dashboards and use the metrics to drive improvements within the services.
