Pros

Within the AWS Org, I've been given full creative power to scope my team, build relationships with others in the org, and get involved in affinity groups and culture initiatives. I thrive in places that allow me the freedom to do what I want while still delivering on primary objectives, which is why I give AWS five stars. On top of the culture and freedom of movement, the pay and benefits are great!

Cons

hybrid working model. I strongly dislike coming into the office. I am neurodivergent and its distracting (noise, people coming and going) and the lights give me headaches every day. I work more productive hours at home than in the office but leadership continues to push the hybrid model.

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.
