Pros

Most orgs offer a fast paced environment. The leadership principles are cool, if you're in an org that is old Amazon.

Cons

Every org is like a separate company. Some are good. Some are bad. Rules and policies are interpreted differently in each. The company offers very little protection against bad orgs. The company's rapid growth has affected the culture. Retaliation is accepted by the company.
