      Pros

      Amazon employs some of the best and brightest in the industry. If you're looking to learn (or think you can teach) this is an incredible opportunity. The projects are challenging, fast and engaging. You will never be bored. Bring your A game and be ready to never stop learning.

      Cons

      There is an unlimited amount of work to do. The temptation is that you try and do it all - you can't. It's up to you to prioritize your work/life balance and no one is going to do that for you. If you're not able to stand up for yourself, this may not be the place for you.

      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.
