Amazon

Amazon is a big place, so these are from a myopic SDE/SDM perspective. YMMV.

You get to work with the best. Opportunities to work at often unrivaled scale. Problems that have never been solved anywhere before. Amazing internal mobility both between teams, as well as geographically, and even role. Little corporate BS – Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles aren't just for show. Competitive salary and benefits.

Not necessarily a con, but don't expect to take it easy – at least not often. Amazon means business.

The bottom-up, independent team structure is great, but it's a way of getting things done that doesn't suit everyone.

Speak directly to your teams more often.

Working as "two pizza teams" is amazing, but despite the independence, we're often all on the same journey. Launch bulletins are nice, but hearing more from senior leaders would help teams feel more connected.
