Pros

- you may depending on your team get opportunities to work on latest technologies. Please note, not every team in AWS works on AI - good perks

Cons

- too many random changes - 5 days mandate is the worst one - removing management layer and making engineers managers - giving random promotions even to people who don't even deserve it to remove middle management layer - fooling employees with comp changes - changing people role without taking their consent (forcing them to resign) - too much politics - no work life balance - no freedom of speech - micromanagement - too much favouritism - Promotions are given if your manager writes a doc for you and offcourse that will happen if you are their favourite. You may get Top tier rating year after year but never be promoted - if you work here then you are not a human but just a number.
