Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, good resume builder

Cons

Amazon loves to call themselves the worlds best employer, but what they don’t say is that internally it’s the hunger games where meeting unregretted attrition numbers are more important than productive employees. Managers meet to determine who are more likely to fail out of FOCUS and place their bets in order to meet their numbers. It’s insanity this happens at a place like this.

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.
