Pros

brilliant coworkers. Pay is better than non FAANG companies (worst for FANNG).

Cons

the days of AWS being innovative and responsive are long over. The internal tooling is the absolute worst. It's is largely a political entity. 80% of your time is bureaucratic overhead. Incentives are misaligned such that everyone is afraid to do good work and there is a large amount of political intrigue. Many of the values have been corrupted and turned against itself. Brilliant coworkers, held back by something fundamentally broken.
