Pros

Been an engineer with Amazon for the last 5+ years. If you are eager to learn and don't mind working overtime a bit, its a great environment! Definitely drinking from the firehose but you'll come out a much better engineer as a result.

Cons

Experience is heavily team dependent, Amazon is a large company so the experience will differ greatly by team. At the same time, there is an opportunity to search for other internal roles and transfer.
