Pros
  • First-class software organization.
  • Peculiar leadership principles, which employees breathe and live with. They are really and frequently used in assessing strategies, products, processes, and people.
  • Senior leaders are often right a lot and dive deep.
  • Lots of internal transfer opportunities and different career choices.
  • Contrary to many external articles, there is a lot of care and support from management, HR, and the company level. The benefits are decent.
Cons

Extreme frugality: you need to spend time to get lunch outside the office. The coffee in the office is extremely light. The workspace is a bit crowded, and the IT equipment is pretty basic. Admittedly, this is also why Amazon is so successful in keeping the price low.
