Pros

Focus on relentlessly improving for both customers AND their employees. I had heard the horror stories from days of old, but have seen how they sincerely and daily drive improvements for their employee's work-life balance and career growth.

Cons

Bottlenecks in middle management and poor communication/change management rollouts for key strategic changes. Also, it appears that older employees "age out" if they haven't been at the company for 10+ years. Younger managers block hiring of older employees that may have more experience than them, limiting the growth potential. Most older employees that haven't made a fortune in equity already tend to leave. I've seen older employees be discriminated against, but when trying to get an interview and when doing internal interviewing.

Pros

The pay is very competitive, you will be well compensated working for the corporate side of amazon. Part of your total comp is stock awards, so you will have to wait for the stock to vest to realize your full years comp. Depending on the team, you can establish healthy work / life boundaries.

Cons

Mandating return to office, 3 days per week. Would not recommend working in amazon operations, the culture is very tough. Amazon corporate works at an extremely fast pace and problems are very ambiguous, so it's not the ideal environment for everyone.
