Pros

Depends on your team You will learn so much that you will have to throttle the amount of information that your brain can receive. Good pay Great echo system to advance your learning. If you find a good team, you will work hard together, if you don't, you will suffer.

Cons

1. No job security. You can easily get laid off after investing so much of your time Management isn't transparent about it. You get more information from Blind than management 2. CHANGE IS A CONSTANT. In my first year, I had 3 different director L8 managers. I and 3 different direct report L6 manager

Pros

Amazon is continuously innovating every day and if that is what you want the management support all the great ideas that you bring, just put it down in a piece of paper in the format of a PRFAQ and it may be funded or not. Likewise there are thousands of other product managers doing the same thing. There are very clear mechanisms to escalate things, that could be a taboo in other companies. So things move very fast. But you also have to move very fast. If you like to work, plate is full. Initial package is fairly competitive if you were able to negotiate a good package.

Cons

Performance evaluation is rigorous, and I see a lot of people put in focus or in pip, leaving. If you do an ROI, pays off if you are in top tier that exceed performance for various consecutive years. Otherwise, there may be more attractive places elsewhere.
