Pros
  • Genuinely challenging work.
  • LP questions tend to filter out the usual bad actor coworkers.
  • AWS experience just by working with it day in and day out.
Cons
  • High chance of landing on a team with bad work-life balance, thanks to spineless leadership.

  • PIP culture is real, particularly in bad orgs.

  • Lots of bleeding-edge work on age-old tech.

  • S-team has completely lost the plot. Jassy is the absolute worst CEO.

Advice to Management

Push back on timelines that make no sense. It leads to the death of organizational culture.
