Pros

Smart, accomplished colleagues to learn from; culture of entrepreneurship that pushes accountability and opportunity down into the organization; you are truly a master/mistress of your own destiny here -- lots of ability to move across teams and take on very different challenges; leadership principles are really good training on how to be an effective leader

Cons

As a manager, can be tough to retain/recruit people (people have so many great options within Amazon!), not great for people who do well in highly structured environments (culture of self service and "bias for action"), diversity in leadership is a work in progress
