Pros

You determine your own growth. As scary as this sounds, it provides amazing growth opportunity. Compensation is great, especially if you're coming out of uni (especially for South Africans, many other companies don't come close). AWS provides you with ample resources to perform well, and a dedicated mentor as you become tenured.

Cons

Having a bad manager can ruin your ambition. It's also very metric based, which is required and can make work feel robotic at times. Because certain metrics are required from you, this makes taking additional responsibility almost impossible unless you're breezing through case work, which is likely not the reality.

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.
