Pros

Was a super company to work for back when Jeff Bezos was at the helm - a real visionary that created a wonderful and creative work environment. We all loved our jobs, working with each other, and being at work everyday. You felt like the org really cared for you. Then, after Bezos stepped down and Jassy took over, the company's culture and work environment started to decline year after year. You were no longer a person, but a corporate commodity. Amazon became just another corporate machine boiling over with top-down bureaucracy. So, there are no longer any "pros" that I can tell you because all the pros that existed when I first started there, are now gone and won't ever be coming back.

Cons

Kind of already stated it above as the long, gone "pros". But, I'm looking to move on as management has stated that all the technical writing positions will be eliminated by next year as service teams will be using an AI-based application to write their own docs.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
