Pros

I held many roles during my tenure. I love that Amazon will let you use your functional role experience to learn a new topic or domain, or domain experience to learn a functional new role. They also truly believe in the leadership principles and working backwards from the customer, which was successful work strategy for me.

Cons

Work life balance can be hard to manage and you don’t get much PTO.

Pros

There is a lot of opportunity have impact, learn, and grow. The work is hard but it's always worthwhile. There is a lot of autonomy from management as long as you demonstrate responsibility.

Cons

If you need constant direction or management, this may not be a great fit. It's a very large organization with a lot people driving projects in a similar direction, which can be frustrating. Lack of collaboration can lead to frustration and duplicate efforts.

Pros

Smart and hard working people, quick actions, gives the company great advantage to try new ideas and grow.

Cons

Jungle culture, most of the leaders are short sighted and only care about short term goals for fastest promotion instead of for long term company vision. Bully environment, a lot of leaders got high rank due to they could "execute" well, when they are fairly young. They are proud of that and would not hesitate to use rank to shut up true professionals.
