Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and apply new technologies, to develope ideas and build them, and to contribute in other ways. Grwat ability to gain exposure to different clients in different industries in different areas if the world.

Cons

In addition to being allocated onto engagements full time, you also are expected to contribute to other areas of business such as recruiting and publishing articles and building new capabilities. These are great opportunities too , but turns into a lot of hours. The Leadership Principals by which you are judged can be interpreted for or against you based on how you are perceived politically. You can also get excluded from engagements or put on difficult ones based on the same. It is not necessarily based on your performance on client engagements. Politics, and being part of the club, are present in every company, but I would say they are perhaps much more intense in the Amazon workplace culture. So that there is a bias for those with the "in club" vs "I just want to do my work and do right by the company and its clients" mentalities.

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.
