Pros

Amazon is an amazing place to learn best practices and work on highly trafficked systems. Very structured process for career development and getting promoted. Efficiency and doing whats right for long term is highly valued. Very easy to work on very impactful projects.

Cons

Oncall can be hard but depends on the team - and might be industry standard. No swag or goodies. Most perks come in form of salary and benefits.
