Pros

Internally very data-driven Office/org politics are rare and generally boil down to what maximizes customer benefit, not silly posturing over positions. Deep and broad knowledge base within the talent pool Continuous opportunities to learn and grow Adherence to Amazon Leadership Principles isn't just lip service Employees can move around freely to find teams/projects they are excited about

Cons

Employees can move around freely to find teams/projects they are excited about Operational overhead can be high and constant, for some services Promotion bar is consistently high, can be tough to get beyond mid-level positions in engineering and management.
