Pros

Brings the customer to focus every time you sit and solve complex problems. Contains plethora of areas where software engineer can explore. Provides amazing leadership opportunities.

Work Life Balance can be better, and you have to go through each level completely before you move onto the next level.

Pros

1. on an avg,you will find quite a few smart people around you ( depends on the team) 2. lots of learning opportunities. 3. can easily switch teams within Amazon.com. you can pick teams working on your area of interest or choose one to learn a completely new problem space/technology.

Cons

1. stock price has gone down in the last year thereby reducing the paycheck. 2. inconsistent hiring bar across teams. so you will indeed find difference in quality of engineers you work with depending on the team. 3. fast changing requirements may mean that what you worked on for past 1 year is literally trashed.
