Pros

Fantastic technology, platform, top executive team, vision, and people /experts (engineers, architects, etc.).

Cons

I believe that, unfortunately, the bad, mediocre managers, the unnecessary micro-management taking so much time away from the important core work to do with customers, the bad aspects of AWS culture sweeping through, managers displaying backstabbing, unfair, contrary-to-company's-values and contrary-to-work-ethics and principles behavior, unchecked lies and retaliatory practices, incompetence and Dunning-Kruger effect in new Managers and Directors, are ruining the SAs work, our great work for our customers and the company's culture.
