Pros

If you have a good organization around you, it can feel like the sky is the limit. Unlimited resources, a huge talent pool, and a propensity to take big swings on innovative technology.

Cons

Amazon's culture is very driven by your immediate organization. If you are on a team where work-life balance is not respected, or operations is deprioritized over features, your leadership chain is to blame and no engineer can change that. Get out or get used to it.

Pros

I work with remarkably intelligent, passionate people who are unfortunate being squandered by upper management.

Cons

After tens of thousands of my coworkers were laid off and several RTO mandates, the senior leadership at Amazon has revealed itself to be a bunch of spineless cowards. Where Amazon once prided itself for its "peculiar" ways, it now follows trends. Jeff Bezos spoke of how hard it is to build trust and how easy it is to lose it, and the S-team have been an archetypical example of that. Amazon has no leadership anymore. It's headed by a bunch of stuffed suits.
