Pros

Great people surround you here, you always have something new to learn and often can get access or support in learning it. Great place to advance in coaching and mentoring others. You wont ever be bored and you certainly will diversify your skill sets.

Cons

The culture diluted so much in the past six years, it's not Amazon that's for sure. Still issues with executives abusing position or power but great at hiding it or pretending they're unaware. Everyone generally is good willed, positive and productive but tired of working three different roles without path way to promotion. Recent changes under new leadership have caused a lot of hardship and toxic stress on employees, and leadership refusal to take ownership and learn from mistakes makes it hard to want to stay and tough it out.

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

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.
