Pros

You get a FAANG name on your resume. You might get relevant work if you are on the right team.

Cons

If you are not in the right team, work could involve a lot of pencil-pushing stuff.

Unless you have no options, do not join Amazon as of this moment. The layoffs have every employee spooked, and morale is low across the board.
