Pros

- first-class software organization - peculiar leadership principles, and the employees do breathe and live with them. They are really and frequently used in assessing strategies, products, processes, and people. - senior leaders are often right a lot and dive deep - lots of internal transfer opportunities and different career choices - contrary to a lot external articles, there are a lot of care and support from management, HR, and company level. the benefits are decent.

Cons

Extreme frugality: you need to spend time to get lunch outside the office, the coffee in the office is extremely light, workspace is a bit crowded, the IT equipments are pretty basic. Admittedly this is also why Amazon is so successful in keeping the price low.

Pros

I have been here for 5 years and still feels fresh! Work on a team, deliver products for customers and switch to next team once you have been there enough. This keeps me fresh and excited!

Cons

It's difficult to grow after L6.

Pros

Decisions are well thought through. Good balance of the Leadership principles at work. Good Work Life Synergy. Amazon has a lot of teams. It is like a large company with many startups within. Once you feel that you have contributed to your team, learnt and grown, you can switch to other teams and continue your growth trajectory.

Cons

None that I can think of.
