Pros

Good access to support, education, and most resources to do our jobs, including software and access to servers and internal resources. Individual teams or groups can be fairly autonomous.

Cons

Especially in the last 5 years, it's feeling a lot more corporate, there's processes and cogs everywhere, and you or your work sometimes get caught in them.

Pros

- Many opportunities for growth in various areas. However, the actual growth rate is lower than I would like due to a handful of slow processes and bad internal tooling that offers little transferable knowledge. - Interesting projects - Decent total compensation (perhaps weighted too heavily due to recent market valuation exploding in Amazon's favor)

Cons

- Slowly adapting work culture - Inconsistent quality and procedural standards across teams in same org
