      Your experience will depends tremendously on your manager

      Pros

      The company is so large so it delegates a lot of responsibility and power to the lower levels of management instead of trying to micromanage everything from the top (like Microsoft does for example).

      Cons

      Because of aforementioned pros, your experience at AWS will depend a ton on your manager and your experience can change drastically should your manager change, not always for the best. You can have a super star manager who protects and develops his directs and is customer focused for a year and then one day you have someone who doesn’t care about anyone but himself to the point where he burns out half the team till they leave the org, all in his mad quest for promotion to L7.
