Pros

Onboarding and training is complete and engaging. Usually, the time at the start of a new job can be less engaging. They fill this with embark tasks.

You interview teams after you get hired. It helps you find the perfect team.

Experience is not wasted; you get to use what you have already learned. Very smart people.

Cons

If I didn't know what to look for in meetings, I would have had a tough time setting up my development environment. Basically, I had to lean on my experience to get started. However, to be fair, I may have jumped the gun on this. I like to get started in the code ASAP.

Advice to Management

Amazon has odd terminology. A cheat sheet of the terms would be nice.
