Pros

- Good learning experience. SInce you work more you learn more. - Good pay. - Growth for those who are willing to work a lot.

Cons

- No work-life balance. - To get a promotion you will need to work a lot as everyone is competing for it and everyone is working more at amazon. - If you are someone who likes to have some life apart from office , then amazon is not the place for you.

Pros

It is possible to switch teams often but you would have to wait for a year before you can move out from your current team. the quality of work depends on the team but there are lot of good teams. most of the folks are good.

Cons

Managers have no vision and some of them are terrible at managing people.
