Pros

The pay is good. Peers are very strong in tech and judgement.

Cons

AJ is a terrible leader. Made decision with no supporting data. Flip-flop, one day he said we would never go back to 5-day office work, people moved out of town, later he said people had to come back. For those who moved out, suck yourself. In 2023-2024 compensation review, L6+ didn’t get any raise because Amazon did too good. That’s a nice way to say thanks for working hard. I’m still working here because I’m still figuring out where to go next. I will. For working part, it’s damn hard to make decisions. Lots of strong people here. Nobody wants to own a thing, but everybody wants to have their say.

Pros

Not too bad if you like to work in the office 24/7. Kind of intense ops culture which is fun if you like that sort of thing. Critical infrastructure frequently on fire and needs creative fixing.

Cons

Top down decision making with no data and no vision. Schizophrenic upper management that pivots every year and constantly bandwagons. Tons of politics. Lack of innovation.
