Pros

The product is interesting, and you can get involved in interesting and complex customer solutions.

Cons

The management is incredibly toxic and is not there to support you. The culture rewards people who abuse the leadership principles to fit their agenda, so you run into others peers and managers who will ruin your career if it helps them. I’ve been an ethical top performer my entire sales career, and I could not believe the culture of complete snakes AWS turns out. Everyone is constantly worried about getting fired.

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.
