      Pros

      Good work life balance Meet a lot of people worldwide

      Cons

      Compensation was below what I expected for the role and market. The work did not provide enough technical depth or challenging engineering problems. The organization appears to be focusing heavily on Kiro (e.g., building new "skills" and "powers") and on storytelling and demos, rather than deep technical execution. I would not recommend this environment for engineers seeking hands-on experience with large-scale production systems or technically challenging projects.

      It's not a great fit for folks who are not aligned to the culture.

      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.
