Pros

Fantastic technology, platform, top executive team, vision, and people of experts, such as engineers and architects.

Cons

I believe that, unfortunately, the bad, mediocre managers, the unnecessary micro-management taking so much time away from the important core work to do with customers, the bad aspects of AWS culture sweeping through, managers displaying backstabbing, unfair, contrary-to-company's-values and contrary-to-work-ethics and principles behavior, unchecked lies and retaliatory practices, incompetence and Dunning-Kruger effect in new Managers and Directors, are ruining the SAs work, our great work for our customers and the company's culture.

Advice to Management

Be careful who you put in management and senior management positions. Bad managers are seriously ruining everything for the rest of the great people there.
