Pros

- Businesses are relatively autonomous - Leadership principals drive the right behaviors - Easy to change teams if you don't have the right fit

Cons

- Amazon has stopped taking risks and just focuses on the bottom line (this isn't the old AMZ) - If a business/product isn't doing well they lay off the whole team - Can be too top down in some teams

Pros

* Work on projects which are seen by millions of customers * Generally very smart coworkers * Strong engineering and operations culture

Cons

* Experience is heavily dependent upon your organisation's management; bad managers appear to have a lot of leeway to ruin your life * Recent changes to management and policies (especially but not limited to return to office/return to hub) have significantly reduced trust in higher leadership, and overall satisfaction of staff * The "brutal performance culture" is not a joke and can feel arbitrary at times, which to some degree is accurate
