Pros
  • (Mostly) modern tech stack
  • Decent benefits
  • Hybrid model
Cons
  • PM system is a soul-crushing nightmare.
  • Little recourse for bad or malicious management.
  • Pay is lower than contemporaries.
  • Lots of organizational red tape.
  • Constantly changing leadership.
  • Being taken over by Amazon leadership, so this negative trend will continue.
Advice to Management

I have no advice. The things that are bad cannot change.
