Pros

Amazon to me to be a leader. The leadership principles are very well formed and act as DNA of the company. As builders, people are ultra-focussed on customer needs, new ideas and delivering continuously.

Cons

Not a pay master, perks are not great. The most monetary gain comes from the growth in stock value. So be ready to accept lowered total comp from previous year. :)
