Pros

- The emphasis on being agile like a startup provides a great learning experience for junior developers - Amazon being involved in so many space you can usually find a job in a domain of your choice - Many teams are intentionally small which allows you to play a bigger role and be more productive

Cons

- The company being too dynamic there is lot of churn in employees. If your manager changes, you need to prove yourself again which can be demotivating after few years - Delivery goals for some teams can be too aggressive and might cause burnout. - You have to manage your own career.
