Pros

Competitive pay. Interesting teams and projects. If you're in a good team with a good manager, work is amazing.

Cons

Three days in the office, enforcement of ancient technologies in the tooling and infrastructure, taking precious time from productivity. Too many jerks, managers that aren't there to grow teams and create good products but to beef up their careers.

Advice to Management

Weed out the jerks that nobody wants to work for.

Invest in people who love working for Amazon.
