Pros

Salary is good. Work from home seems to be becoming the norm, nobody is returning in big numbers to the office and AWS are not pushing it.

Cons

You will be massively overworked, you will be expected to achieve your goals with little to no project management tools (all in house - rubbish tooling), the teams that you work with have such a high turnover of staff that you need to reinvent the very basic project tasks over and over again. The TPM's manage far too many projects and you will burn out after 3 years.... max! The bar is dropping for TPM's and Engineers for diversity, you are not working with the best anymore. Once you are in Promotion is harder than getting into AWS, its a massive bureaucracy of reasons not to promote you.

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.
