Pros

You can learn a lot if you luck yourself on to a good team and a lot of other companies think Amazon on your resume makes you extremely desirable.

Cons

Managers like to micro-manage, to consistently pester engineers for information so they can do their status updates that no one reads. A lot of teams are built to remedy tech-debt from other teams and you don't want to be on one of them!

Pros

My team is great. Flexible hours. Work life balance. Wonderful manager. Ability to work from home. Team activity every once in a while. Most team members help each other out when help is needed.

Cons

My team is great. Some other teams are not so good. Normal cons for a big software company. Sometimes on call on weekends (during the day, once or twice a month).
