      Disorganized - Software Development Engineer Amazon Web Services Employee Review

      Pros

      The pay is really good along with the medical benefits. Some individual contributors can find a way to just build their own project. If you can swing this you may have a good time.

      Cons

      Weak and disorganized leadership. If you are someone who is used to being on a well structured team or organization it can be rough. I would say if you are a veteran especially this can be especially difficult. You will not use industry best practices for anything outside of cloud work. I would strongly avoid Amazon if you are an embedded engineer other than as a short term stop.

      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.
