      Pros

      Work life balance at Amazon Web Services is totally dependent on the team you are in. I have been in multiple teams at Amazon in the past 4 years. There were teams where work was minimal with lots of time for myself. But I have also been in a team where we had to work long hours and through weekends to meet deadlines.

      Cons

      I have witnessed and been part of constant re-orgs and manager changes that can affect the career negatively if you are a fresher.

      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.
