Pros

Have very good guidelines as leadership principles for rookie engineers to develop herself. Plenty of opportunities are there to learn skills across the tech stack.

Cons

For engineer who stays in Amzon for 2+ years. The leadership principle guided culture may become more like a restriction than guidelines. And there are a lot if legacy services in the company which are burdens for engineers despite level.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
