Pros

- you may depending on your team get opportunities to work on latest technologies. Please note, not every team in AWS works on AI - good perks

Cons

- too many random changes - 5 days mandate is the worst one - removing management layer and making engineers managers - giving random promotions even to people who don't even deserve it to remove middle management layer - fooling employees with comp changes - changing people role without taking their consent (forcing them to resign) - too much politics - no work life balance - no freedom of speech - micromanagement - too much favouritism - Promotions are given if your manager writes a doc for you and offcourse that will happen if you are their favourite. You may get Top tier rating year after year but never be promoted - if you work here then you are not a human but just a number.

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.
