Pros

- Many opportunities for growth in various areas. However, the actual growth rate is lower than I would like due to a handful of slow processes and bad internal tooling that offers little transferable knowledge. - Interesting projects - Decent total compensation (perhaps weighted too heavily due to recent market valuation exploding in Amazon's favor)

Cons

- Slowly adapting work culture - Inconsistent quality and procedural standards across teams in same org

Pros

Highly customer focused. Work done by each individual has immediate and positive impact on the customer. Teaches you to be independent and adapt fast to changing requirements.

Cons

Too much technical debt due to focus on delivering features over reducing operational burden. On-call duties can sometimes interfere with personal life.
