Diverse projects but political landscape has shifted
Great diversity of domains to work on. Flexible for internal transfer. It was a fast-paced organization where we worked like startups with less hierarchy, and engineers' voices were appreciated.
Unfortunately, the company has changed a bit. Amazon prefers those who are good at politics now rather than those who prefer to work hard and deliver.
Further, they recently re-org'd the whole AGI team, which was shocking. Before, the company was willing to fund for north stars, but now it seems like they are more interested in cutting funds to reduce expenditures over investing in the future.
