Pros

Easy to move between teams.

Don't really need to switch companies, as each org acts as an individual company with specific goals.

Keeps you challenged and stimulated in work life.

Cons

Overworked. Tighter deadlines. A bad manager can have a big impact on your career at Amazon, and there are several incapable managers who don't have the relevant skills to strategize and create impact with their team.

Advice to Management

Managers should be held to a high bar, just like ICs.
