Pros

Depending on the org, the projects are challenging and engaging. I love working with brilliant and hard-working people. Enterprise-level software with the backing of a solid tech company.

Cons

Amazon is more business-oriented, which means they are continuously delivering to their customers. This results in a fast-paced, non-stop work environment which can burn people out. It also means that things are usually built only to an MVP on delivery.

Advice to Management

Your directs want to be there long term, so don't force them to make a series of short-term deliverables that are ground out every couple of sprints. Retention.
