Pros

Industry leading technology and *incredible* company culture. It’s easy to understand why Amazon and AWS in particular continue to grow. The pace is pretty intense. That’s mitigated to a large extent by a “we’re all in this together” mentality. SA’s are highly sought after. Egos are left outside, which is a refreshing change from other tech companies. Leadership is vocally self-critical, listens, and responds. So many healthy things about this place.

Cons

The pace can be challenging. From what I’ve seen people do respect your out of office time, but the standards are so hi that many don’t respect their own and burn themselves out.

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.
