Pros

Cloud infrastructure UX is genuinely hard. You're designing for highly technical users, multi-step workflows, dense data, and high-stakes actions (one wrong click can cost a company thousands). If you like wrestling with complexity rather than polishing marketing pages, this is fertile ground.

Cons

Amazon requires five days a week in-office as of 2024–2025.

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.
