Pros

Lots of smart people. Learned how to define, build and launch products in resource constrained environment. Everything I have worked on launched and had customer adoption.

Cons

Amazon doesn't invest in people, but career development happens as a by product. We are packed in like sardines. Frugal core value is really just code for cheap. I once went on a business dinner with an out of town team and senior managers wanted everyone to pay for their own dinner ridicules.
