Pros

Salary, but more like “golden handcuffs,” also you get to put AWS on your resume.

Cons

Absolutely no feedback on your work and no support. I had six managers in two years because they kept quitting. Getting no feedback felt like I was working in the dark and I left having no real idea of how good I even was at the job. After I quit my manager refused to acknowledge it and instead started sending me emails detailing work I wasn’t getting done. I told him of course I’m not working. I don’t work there anymore and I kept asking where to mail my laptop. I learned that it looks bad for managers if someone leaves in good standing so he was trying to get me in trouble on my way out the door to make himself look better.

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.
