Pros

You can learn a lot at Amazon and AWS. Very focused on moving things forward, not overly political at the L6 level and there is a lot of structure and resources if you look for them. Very focused on the customer above all else (incl employees).

Cons

High attrition for tech, PIP quotas. Very tactical role in many ways. Comp is hard to understand and is dependent upon the stock price more than elsewhere. It hasn't been good for me 2021-2023. There is a fiscal cliff in year 5.

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.
