Pros

Vast resources to learn from, with endless training opportunities. The culture is one of learning and focused on promoting employee growth. Weekly operational meetings are designed to promote cross-service collaboration and learning opportunities. Scale: the ability to work on projects at a scale unlike anywhere else.

Cons

Not all teams or internal orgs seem to share the same culture. The away team concept is tough. Large company politics can come into play.

Advice to Management

Continue to empower service teams to operate autonomously in regards to HR, as each team has its own culture. The team should be held accountable to its overall goals, not a global Amazon-wide formula for headcount.
