amazing culture, really supportive, mostly healthy competition

less career growth in comparison to aws people

Strong engineering talent and technically capable peers. Historically offered opportunities to work on large-scale consumer devices with real production impact. Ownership culture at the team level — engineers are often trusted to drive complex cross-layer initiatives. Good exposure to platform systems, device-to-cloud integration, and large fleet operations.

Over the past few years, frequent leadership changes and repeated organizational reorgs created uncertainty in long-term technical direction. Compared to earlier years, there are fewer net-new greenfield initiatives, with more focus on sustaining and maintaining legacy programs. Shifting priorities and evolving reporting structures can make roadmap continuity and long-term architectural planning more challenging.
