Pros

- Opportunity to scale AWS at global level, working on the largest-scale projects on a daily basis. - High standards and expectations across AWS teams, you will develop your technical and soft skillset while collaborating and learning with other team members. - Total compensation package is competitive, with higher emphasis on cash base/bonus instead of equity in the first two years insulating new hires from market volatility.

Cons

- Benefits are lagging other top tech competitors in almost every area, including backloaded stock vesting schedule, time off and parental leave, wellness benefits, retirement contributions, and many others. - Work culture and celebration of healthy conflict can be challenging for more passive personalities. - Heavy work load requires strong time management and prioritization, knowing when to lean in and when to say no.

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.
