Pros

I work with remarkably intelligent, passionate people who are unfortunately being squandered by upper management.

Cons

After tens of thousands of my coworkers were laid off and several RTO mandates, the senior leadership at Amazon has revealed itself to be a bunch of spineless cowards. Where Amazon once prided itself for its "peculiar" ways, it now follows trends.

Jeff Bezos spoke of how hard it is to build trust and how easy it is to lose it, and the S-team has been an archetypal example of that. Amazon has no leadership anymore.

It's headed by a bunch of stuffed suits.

Advice to Management

Stand up to Andy Jassy and embrace the culture we've all built over the last decade.
