Pros

They pay you well. Their products are special and innovative. They provide you with everything you need to get your job done. All of the high-end tech stacks and Enterprise-Level tools (Slack, ChatGPT...) The team is big, lots of great coworkers. Engineers here are at a high level, which could be helpful to work with. Very customer-driven.

Cons

No more work-life balance. Very Amazon culture now. They shift to "work harder and much harder, or AI will replace you". So be very mindful if you want to join. This place is now a performative organization, where everyone tries to perform, or act as if they are performing at their best. The performance curve from Amazon is just a calibration tool based on upper management's needs. There was a case where an employee who needed development was rated Achieves because they just got promoted. Bad management recently, with constant changes in leadership and direction in a single year, caused significant execution trouble. VPs and Directors do not care about employees' mental health. I think they don't care for their own either, in order to keep their job.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
