Pros
When the stock is on an upswing, it can be compelling to keep holding on for more RSUs. Initial offers are good, but there are 2 and 4 year cliffs that happen after 1) your 2 year cash bonuses end and 2) your initial stock disbursements stop at 4 years. Under Bezos this was a thriving culture for innovation, iteration, and building cool stuff. Jassy is bottom-line focused, that's it.
Cons
Everything that made Amazon peculiar in a positive way has dried up with Jassy. If you care about $$ above all, you may stick around to see how he improves the stock value, but anyone who experienced the pre-Jassy culture will tell you it is a marked turn for the negative. RTO has been handled absolutely horribly and inept managers who were one-trick pony ICs continue to get promoted. Senior leaders (L8+) hired from outside Amazon are awful and legitimately destroy orgs, cycling out trying to escape eventual PIPs themselves. Ethics and equitability do not exist except in counter-culture pockets. If you choose to work here, give yourself a time limit for your health and sanity.
