Pros

The volume of learning and growth you experience is unmatched, given that you are committed to make the most of it. Your team will be some of the smartest people you ever worked with

Cons

Your experience is highly dependent on the Org. and your Manager. If you see any red flags here, be ready to walk away because they will dictate what your experience will be like at Amazon. Poor Managers will use power and intimidation to enforce compliance from you if theres anything about you or your performance they don't like.

Pros

Very clear path to promo. If you want it hard enough you can achieve it here. But definitely comes at a cost

Cons

PIP culture, management roulette, god-like complex from people one level above you. Horrible TPM culture, bad team culture. If you're not in first, you're in last and everyone coordinates to cut you out.
