Pros

High Salary - that makes Amazon think they just bought you

Cons

- Toxic Culture - 10/10 - Personalized interpretation of Leadership Principles that allow managers to exploit their team slapping their version of understanding of these principles to suit themselves - People don't matter to Amazon - only results do, even if it is overly illogical which is the case most of the times - Leader's are spineless, as opposed to their own leadership principle that requires leaders to demonstrate their strength and be right a lot and have a backbone. But, every leader is only serving their manager and so on, leading to a unreal and impractical goal setting scenario across the company, that takes stretching the goals to a level where the goals become impossible to accomplish, and work-life becomes a myth - Amazon does not hire you - they hire your entire family, as you get so busy everyone else feels the strain as well within the family, and then Amazon destroys any possibility of even basic work life balance.
