Pros

AWS has given me the flexibility and responsibility to be in charge of my success and provided a supportive team and manager to help at many points along the way.

Cons

There's a big learning curve and a lot of content to consume and master. I feel like I'm given plenty of time to work on absorbing and improving my skills. If you like learning and being customer focused then you will do well here. If you're more into working by yourself then it will be harder to thrive.

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.
