Pros

The pay is really good along with the medical benefits. Some individual contributors can find a way to just build their own project. If you can swing this you may have a good time.

Cons

Weak and disorganized leadership. If you are someone who is used to being on a well structured team or organization it can be rough. I would say if you are a veteran especially this can be especially difficult. You will not use industry best practices for anything outside of cloud work. I would strongly avoid Amazon if you are an embedded engineer other than as a short term stop.

Pros

My team is good. Manager is cool. Projects are pretty interesting.

Cons

Amazon S-team is pure garbage. Force "voluntary resignation" to avoid paying for severance if people don't relocate (across states). Now managers have to drop disappointment bombs and "encourage" people to come or relocate. This is getting very toxic
