Pros

Can learn with modern aws/dev tools. You can have talented engineering peers. Or not. Depends on the team

Cons

Heavily political. Spend more time managing politics to convince nontechnical people of things than engineering the right solutions

Pros

Compensation is good and affords me a comfortable life.

Cons

I don't trust that my managers have a coherent vision or strategy. Amazon is such a big company and there are many great managers and leaders across the company. Unfortunately, there are also many managers that seem just as lost as the entry level and mid level engineers.
