Pros

* Payment is above average considering start ups and other small companies. * Processes improves over time with opportunities to grow. * Can work with brilliant people spread across the world.

Cons

* Leadership doesn't provide a clear vision for product, teams, work, all messages are half written and you are left with a lot of open questions. * Working hours are insane, you are expected to put 80+ hours a week. Sometimes this is clearly stated by senior leadership. * Return to office mandate completely destroyed people's trust on leaders. * Oncall forces you to live 24/7/365 with a gun to your head, specially if you are a manager. There is no concept of work/life balance.

Pros

You will learn a lot and be very busy. You'll see a well set up, opinionated way of doing things. You sill work with incredibly talented people.

Cons

Your experience depends on your org-- choose carefully. Recent actions and announcements from the senior leadership team do not at all follow Amazon's leadership principles.
