There are many things to work on at Amazon. Few problems are well solved and do not require further innovation. This can be a huge benefit when you come to Amazon; there will definitely be something to which you can apply yourself.
A negative is that often you are dealing with all of the daily work and don't have the chance to make framework improvements or large-scale changes to the software you are working on. Too often, you're stuck with finer details, and management may not make time for the larger changes.
There are many ways the company asks you to work on big improvements. Through the leveling documents for promotions, for peer feedback, and the way the company lauds these efforts with other awards. However, there is little to no time allotted for this kind of work.
