Pros

It is still a company that is at cutting edge of many technologies and you will work with some best engineers and team members. Its leadership principles truly guide the daily decision making and are part of the DNA of the company.

Cons

Mass layoffs and continued cost cutting create resource crunches across teams and affect the moral of the teams. Amazon used to have thousands of open roles for all kind jobs and now you can count with your fingers of open roles of some job families. Many people compete for the few opportunities to get a chance to work on something different.

Pros

At one point Innovation, Employees were being values. Work was fun and challenging

Cons

After 2022, its all about HC, cost. No value/focus on think big, innovation. No one cares about talent any more. People are just resource.
