Amazon org in disguise

Business Outlook

Pros

- internal mobility- where you can ask to transfer to different org, even aws/retails orgs. Can also transition to become TPM if you're an SDE - free lunch (but quality is degrading, very high in sodium and highly processed) - amazon tooling. Basically using all builder tools amazon, directly using aws tools. - really smart peers. They have a high hiring bar.

Cons

- Constant reorgs which makes it terrible for promotion and career growth. - Top down AI mandate for the sake of AI adoption, in the name of boosting developer productivity and saving developer billing hours. - Layoffs when company profit was all time high. - Many consumer facing teams are stretched thin.
