Pros

- big stretch and growth potential, especially if willing to be mobile - leadership principles establish strong culture that permeates almost everything - culture of innovation, doers, "owners" and self-starters

Cons

- sometimes there are inconsistencies in demonstration of core principles in different teams/under different managers - culture favors long/hard work vs. smart work - HR has a a lot of churn, which creates downstream issues for managers and employees

Pros

Ownership: Despite being a huge company, it still feels like a startup - so you often feel like you're working on a project that 10 people should be working on, with a due date that's 10x sooner than feels reasonable. If you're up for the challenge, that feeling breeds passion, excitement, ownership, and also career advancement. There is never a shortage of (actually pretty interesting) work to do, and never enough time to do it all, which actually seems to excite most Amazon employees (myself included).

Cons

Some of the pros are also the cons. Things can feel scrappy in a bad way - where even though we're a mature company, we have "immature" processes, workflows, and systems in some areas of the business.
