Pros

I found an attractive company culture, strongly based on the 16 Leadership Principles. They define clearly the unique footprint of the company. Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, combined with a strong commitment on Sustainability, are the drivers for a positive environment. AWS is growing fast, and investing in several industries. It's a dynamic environment, and a great place to work for proactive people. I love the writing culture. All new hires dedicate first 3 months for the Embark, which is a good way to enter immediately in the expected mindset.

Cons

Challenges are high, hard working is required, and employees should raise the bar continuously. It's a good opportunity for curious learners and dynamic people, while this pressure could be difficult to manage for others.

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.
