Pros

- Big tech, so it'll look good on your resume - Lots of internal teams you may want to join

Cons

- Lots of questionable choices in the past 2 years - RTO full 5 days, despite most people in the company being outspoken against it - Started going downhill after Andy Jassy became CEO, he really seems to not care about his employees - Budget cuts and layoffs despite having record-high stock performance - Increased workload for efficient workers, with no increased compensation
