Pros

LPs are not just on paper.

Learn things faster.

High quality peers.

Amazon RSU.

Cons

Aggressive and competitive environment.

Long work hours.

Poor benefits.

No work-life balance.

Higher salary is not a pro because you work 1.5x hours more than regular.

Unnatural workplace, data-driven and deprived of human emotion.

Advice to Management

You cannot become the world's best employer without offering good benefits and work-life balance.
