Pros

Employees are encouraged to demonstrate leadership skills at any job level.

This encourages knowledge sharing, changing of job roles, and internal transfers.

Amazon maintains an internal wiki, which contains a lot of information. It is useful during the initial learning curve for new employees.

Cons

Amazon is fast-paced, so documentation is not thorough for some components.

Lots of knowledge would come from experience using different tools or discussing with senior peers.
