Pros: Decent pay scale, even though it's not on par with MAANG. In fact, Amazon shouldn't be part of the MAANG anymore.
You get to work with a few great minds.
Cons: Frequent layoffs and leadership changes mean your team will have to deliver committed results with reduced headcount.
You no longer get to work on challenging projects or gain experience in building scalable products.
