Pros

Company is really good for folks that want to take on more responsibility to learn. They have really good mechanisms for everything. There is never a dull moment.

Cons

Almost all requirements are really high priority and were needed yesterday. The concept of priority gets lost across all the requirements. There is a leadership principle called "Earth's best employer", but Amazon does everything that is possible to keep dinging employees whenever possible. Too much of cut-throat culture.

Pros

Amazing place to learn at an insane speed

Cons

Lots of politics and if you get a bad manager playing the politics you will likely be managed out so your manager can help their VP make there quarterly numbers of managing out 6% of staff year after year (even if you are above bar or high performer)
