Great culture with a focused team - Recensione dipendente - Director presso Amazon Web Services

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.

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.

Relatively great work life balance if you know how to manage through it. Great team members willing to help out

Lack of structure, overly focused on Docs and politics. "Builders" are overly encouraged to make updates in their areas, but don't necessarily look across products to share best practices or establish guidelines across the company causing mismatches. Minimal visibility to what you are working on for leadership. Directors not familiar with the details which causes issues.
