Pros

It really depends on the team that you work with, as teams vary in their leadership and expectations. Fantastic experience. Work with industry best.

Cons

Not predictable hours, as the nature of the job is 24/7. Amazon is for everyone, but not everyone is for Amazon. As has been quoted, Amazon is where overachievers go to feel bad about themselves. Re-orgs happen frequently.

Advice to Management

Keep on being bullish with schedules, but do not let operational burden get out of hand.
