Pros

Its very fast moving and challenging environment. I learned a lot in last 1 year compared to probably 2 to 3 years in my previous companies. I am glad I choose Amazon over others.

Cons

Getting promoted in a managerial role is an uphill battle compared to other companies as far as I heard.

- Commute and traffic as it is located at a place where there is a lot of traffic rush - Sometimes promotion can be queue based rather than interest or performance (differs from org to org)
