* Chance to work on multiple technologies * Open forum to connect with L7 * L7 leader is effective but does not do anything substantial

Cons

* Culture Toxic * Team doesnt support learning * Expectation you should know each and everything in terms of process at amazon even when you are joining amazon for 1st time * People are rude and willing to steal credit inorder to get promoted * Managers support L5's to steal credits of L4 engineers in order to promote those L5 engineers * Religion based people were deliberately being hired in the team
