Pros

Super awesome core culture, smart people all around to talk to. Access to pretty much all tech content/talks/knowledge (open culture).

Cons

Bad middle-level managers with less technical knowledge. Ex-program managers now turning into senior managers without any vision. Basically, the culture is getting polluted.

Advice to Management

Have more scrutiny over managerial promotions or role changes. Do frequent audits for org-level culture checks. I love core Amazon culture, but I hate my org's.
