Pros

Entrepreneurial, think big culture; Broad opportunity to engage across the Amazon ecosystem

Cons

Hunger Games-like atmosphere due to stack ranking/required attrition; Progression mainly based on ability to play politics...and quality of many leaders are a reflection of this.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
