Pros

Genuinely if you look closely, you would find decent people. But you will count them on the fingers of your one hand

Cons

Unprofessional environment; Gaslightning as a "prefered" way to deal with a customer; Heavily mysogonist culture (when you see that AWS describes women as minority - believe it); Zero support, extremely vicious and competitve team, led by a narcistic manager. Genuinly a toxic culture which you want to avoid. Aside from that: very poor health insurance cover, almost laughable employee support, mental health is dealt with by listening to 1h workshop where a fellow employee tells you to breathe and see love. Poor benefits in general and definitely unbearable work culture

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.
