Pros

Work is good with good impact.

Cons

Management is not good. Lot of Indians who bring the Indian work mentality here. Eg: You need to be in the office from 9-5, if you are coming late, you need to leave late, which is not a good culture. Lot of micromanagement from Manager.

Pros

Unique and fascinating internal tooling is a huge boost to development productivity. Ability to design for high scale and highly complex environments you will rarely find elsewhere.

Cons

Amazon's RTT and RTO policies are a short-sighted mandate of a few affecting the job stability of thousands. Little to no communication is making this a layoff without actually calling it a layoff, just vague promises if you say you're willing to relocate, and threats if you are not.
