Salary is good, among best in Europe for Amazon with 30% ruling, without, other countries pay better.

Cons

- Big re-org of the AWS department happened 6 months ago, and now there is a big chaos in the management. - The AWS org received new project which are in a very bad state, with a lot of deprecated services - Heavy on-call at the moment, they say it will be better, but have to see.

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.
