Pros

Good pay, some smart colleagues, some interesting projects.

Cons

It is an unstable company due to top-down management disrupting employee retention with unreasonable Return-to-office mandates and regular Re-Orgs. Leadership principles are largely ignored by "managers," a lack of real leadership. The constant push for profitability leads employees to be evaluated on metrics outside their control. Everyone below Andy Jassy just follows orders and the communication is quite poor.

Pros

Excellent access to and investment in talent acquisition and BI tools. Excellent compensation, sign on bonus, stock options, and performance based bonus. Remote and hybrid options.

Cons

As with most publicly traded companies, especially tech companies, massive layoffs, especially in overhead roles, are common if rates decline for more than a quarter or two.
