Pros

The smartest team of front-line employees I've ever had the pleasure to work for.

Cons

Leadership. Goolge them, you'll see what I mean. AWS's Leadership Principles are fluff that guides zero decisions. The Leadership team doesn't stand for anything other than the bottom line and treats their employees as a disposable asset.

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.
