Pros: Work with smart people, good benefits.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of.

Pros: Work is fast-paced and interesting. If you get a good manager, you can drive the direction of the team with good ideas and hard work. Everything at Amazon is manager-dependent. It can be a wonderful environment when you have a good team.

Cons: The company puts no effort into retaining good employees. The compensation structure is misleading or predatory. The promotion process is a nightmare and can take over a year, while interviewing for the same position takes a few hours. It can be incredibly political, with managers trying to impress each other. Teams are incredibly unstable, and reorganizations are common. At any moment, you could be forced under a team or manager that you don't like. Operations loads (on-call) can be incredibly time-intensive, with no work-life balance when you're on call.

Pros: Learning new things, delivering results with best practices to maintain leadership principles.

Cons: Work-life balance [can be] a little off track if you are involved in time-crunching projects.
