Pros

If you want to reskill into a different specialty, such as moving between cloud, embedded, hardware, networking, or frontend roles, a big company like Amazon is great.

Internal transfers are easy.

Cons

You will be at the end of a long, intentionally vague chain of command. Things will happen without great reasoning or explanation, and you might spend an enormous amount of time on very silly endeavors.

Advice to Management

Be less stinky.
