Pros

AWS has incredible people and commits to their customers and employees. I have waited years to find a company like this.

Cons

You must have the LPs and really want to learn. It is not a place to put your feet up. But they insist on work Life harmony. ( and its an objective of yours to demonstrate it )

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

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.
