Pros

Very focused at times and some cultural practices (e.g. clarity of thought expressed by writing). Very practical and good at incremental delivery

Cons

Jassy is uninspiring and dropped ball on AI so is trying to make it up by slashing costs and being actively hostile to employees (e.g. RTO5) and showing crappy slop AI outputs into inappropriate domains. Engineering excellence culture is mediocre overall

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
