Pros

The salary is competitive with market rates.

Interesting work and problems to solve.

Cons
  • Lots of politics and backstabbing
  • Very toxic work environment
  • Leadership principles
Advice to Management

Amazon has a negative reputation within the industry, and it is well deserved. This is because, fundamentally, the Leadership Principles are twisted and abused to suit those with power or those who want it bad enough. Rethink them from the ground up.
