Pros
  1. Generally, engineers own an entire service, from infrastructure to development to operations. You can learn a lot.
  2. In some teams, you'll be handling the largest service of that kind on Earth, which comes with unique challenges.
  3. Amazon's Leadership Principles are actually good and useful guidelines. They'll probably make you successful even at other companies.
Cons

Upper management is increasingly draconian, irrational, and going against the values they profess.
