AWS work-life balance is bimodal
Some AWS teams have great balance. Others (mostly the newer services chasing GA) are brutal. Ask specifically in your team-matching call.

Customer obsession isn't marketing
The 'work backwards from the customer' principle actually shapes meetings. The PR/FAQ doc exercise feels silly at first then becomes second nature.

Forced curve cost us good people
Annual review forces a percentage into LP categories regardless of actual performance. Watched two people on my team get coached out who were performing fine.

Varies sharply by team — research yours
I had two stints at Amazon. First team: brilliant, supportive, growth-focused. Second team after an internal transfer: stack-rank pressure, weekly metric reviews, terrible. Same company, different worlds. Ask specific questions in interviews.
