Pros

Compensation is competitive and better than market

Cons

Salary is the only best part. There are lot of differences across verticals Each vertical has tweaked some set of policies. Amazon boasts of solid Leadership principles but the same are abused to find reasons for pinning people down Depending on the team politics vary a lot.

Pros

Some theoretically interesting problems to solve and did I mention AI!

Cons

Senior leaders are hell bent on getting AI projects delivered, lack of any vision (priorities shifting monthly), and demonstrate a total lack of empathy for anyone below their pay grade. Glut of middle managers that don’t provide customer value, but an unending stream of documents. Senior engineers that literally don’t write any code, but “influence” other teams to deliver customer value. The gears of this sausage factory are kept lubricated by a steady supply of entry level SDEs with that lack technical proficiency to deliver anything of quality.
