Pros

- Pays well, relative to non-FAANG companies - Leadership principles are good in theory and useful to take to other companies (but fail in Amazon, as employees weaponize them to protect themselves or stab others in the back).

Cons

- Toxic environment - 8-15% of corporate employees pushed out annually to "raise the bar"; this is where groups of leadership coordinate reviews to save themselves while letting others go. - Clear location and ethnicity bias within some teams - Work life "harmony" is a joke; they will try to take every waking minute, don't care about your health and will gladly suck the soul from your body if you let them
