Pros
Amazon is big on ownership. Whining wont get you anywhere, and neither will entitlement. Take control of your own destiny and start building things and solving problems. At Amazon each branch of the org chart is a company. The manager is basically the CEO (even for 2 pizza teams). So pick a manager you click with, otherwise it can be hell. Once you found where you belong, stay there for at least 4 years and become deeply involved. This is how you move up the ladder. If you only care about salary and benefits, do us all a favour and go somewhere else…
Cons
The manager controls your fate and so does your entire management chain. Some orgs are a disaster. Orgs are basically separate companies. Your very first priority is to realize that you were hired for amazon. Put pressure on bad teams and orgs by switching to another team or org, your manager can not block that.
