Pros

Great way to learn about the company, how it works (Leadership Principles) and culture (DEI). Folks here are great, helpful, leaders by example.

Cons

Makes you think in one way, the Amazon way. Leadership Principles are great but make sure you can think outside of it as well.

Pros

1. There is wide range of resources created for internal use. 2. Using and learning various tools help gain experience and think it in Amazon way. 3. Might get overwhelmed at first, but every task can be solved easily if you know where to look and apply some knowledge related to the task.

Cons

1. Using all internal tools means you might not be familiar with the tools industry uses. 2. Open-source tools that are available are not used and hence your personal development is limited to amazon tools and have to spend extra time to stay updated with industry.
