Pros

I have been with AWS for about 1.5 years, there are many pros to AWS. First is the people so far I have been on a team that is very supportive and management has also been very supportive. I like that there is always something new to learn and everyone understands that we are all learning and are supportive and willing to make time to share their knowledge.

Cons

I have heard a lot of complaints about Amazon as a whole especially now with the RTO mandate I truly feel bad for a lot of them and wish them the best. A con would be miscommunication from the top down, lots of management is blindsided by decisions being made from above them.

Pros

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

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.
