Pros

Some good teams doing interesting tech.

Cons

Recent corporate comms on the company's return to office policy have made it clear all staff, at all levels are under constant surveillance. Staff hired as remote during the pandemic are being forced to move and work in an office, without relocation assistance, or resign, without severance.

Pros

You might meet some of the best in engineering. Also you will have access to an unlimited amount of resources.

Cons

People are part of a cult at AWS. they are not even the sharpest but they think they are top %1. Management pleasing and "networking" works more than real expertise.

Pros

- you're working for a HUGE company with a lot of resources - espresso machines

Cons

- you are a number; no one cares - you will get stepped on and thrown under the bus at every opportunity possible - burn out is a major understatement. Be prepared for 12+ hour days, everyday
