Pros

Latest technologies and cutting-edge projects.

Amazon really cares about security.

Great compensation.

Managers are often very flexible with time off.

Managers listen to senior engineers (and junior, too, for the most part).

Everyone is super nice.

Switching teams is very easy and encouraged.

Cons

On-call sucks for the most part, but that depends on the team.

Some periods are more stressful than others.

Some products are sub-par, but in that case, you can just switch teams.

People leave all the time, mostly moving internally.

Advice to Management

Work on retaining employees. A lot of good work has been done in the past years, but we're still not there yet.
