Pros

A massive amount of knowledge to be gained with respect to how to utilize cloud technologies.

Cons

The lack of structure trying to move up in rank is not there. The engineers run the teams, and management just complains about the metrics which are almost impossible to hit all the time. It is just pure chaos. Not controlled chaos. The turnover rate is the highest I've ever seen in an organization. You take a job in cloud support just to get in the door, and try to leave as soon as you get there.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
