Pros

Good work-life balance while working on Alexa devices compared to AWS. Some weeks might involve working 50-60 hours, perhaps every two months.

Compensation is very good.

Cons

Management doesn't care about tech debt.

Very unscalable business. Every other month, they are releasing new products that have to be compatible with existing software.

Advice to Management

Management can't make decisions sometimes and seems to not be organized sometimes.
