Pros

Having been with AWS now for 4 weeks, I have spent my time learning, reading, watching videos of the leaders and understanding the peculiar ways of Amazon. It is so refreshing to work for a company that value candidates/ individuals on their skillset. For years i have recruited for major corporates whom have told me the candidates "does not fit the culture", or has "bad reasons for leaving their previous employment", or "we need to compare against other candidates" These are all irrelevant when it comes down to whether someone actually has the skills to do the job. We hire the best and so it is no wonder Amazon will be / is Earths Best Employer

Cons

None so far - there is just so much information to take in and I guess if you are not open to re-learning and being curious it might not be for you

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.
