      Pros

      Decent pay, goodish benefits for the money

      Cons

      AWS does not value experienced technicians, they try to force you to get promoted in 2 years or less. If you don't comply, they invent a reason to get rid of you. Make a mistake? Fired. Growth demands are unsustainable, timelines are hilariously unrealistic. Safety is NOT the priority they say it is. Leaders only care about their next promo. Jeff bozo didn't get where he is without putting $$$ over people. All of your coworkers will openly talk about quitting. Nobody actually cares about their jobs or the company, it's just a bad place to work.

      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.
