Pros

Work always exciting, challenging and enjoyable. Projects and features are launched at a scale that rarely exist in other companies, and my team is one I would happily work in for a long time.

Cons

Can be frustrating when work is needed in other teams' systems as Away team model is advocated over escalations. Promotions are difficult and inconsistent between teams.

Pros

Amazon gives you prestige and you feel respected by others

Cons

Pay range is low and a family cannot afford to live "a decent life" with that kind of salary
