Pros

Lots of products in different areas. You can always find your interests.

Many chances to develop your career no matter what your target is, either engineer or management.

Cons

Low salary and benefits compared to other big companies.

On-call is terrible. You'll no longer have sleep, no longer have weekends.

Frugality is one of Amazon's leadership principles. A company can be frugal with many things, but it shouldn't be frugal with employees.

Advice to Management

Improve employee benefits, such as providing an annual bonus.
