Pros

Pay and international work opportunities to change teams

Cons

Toxic Culture No work life balance Mangers get PIP quota and deliberately find target engineers to PIP Huge politics in sister teams and within teams Very less annual leaves If you take paternal/maternal leave then you will be PIPed when you return Not at an ideal company for people looking for work life balance or to spen time with family at any time during their tenure at Amazon

Pros

* Full work from home & flexible working hours, atleast for virtual assosciates. * Very customer focused and not "business only" decision makers. * Team spends time on reviews to see what is the best idea. * Depending if you like writing, but there is a ton of writing (not only code) in amazon. Thus, very easy to find a contact or documentation for whatever you need. * Team specific: Team is easy to engage, and manager is very supporting

Cons

* Some time work can be overwhelming. * Don't like some of the technology, but this is more kind of personal preference, and the tech still works just have to get used to it.
