Pros

- Worked with very intelligent people - Worked on items that millions of customers used - A lot of learning resources for free (if you want to get a cloud certification, they have free courses taught by AWS experts and external recommended groups)

Cons

- Obsession with levels by Amazonian long-timers - Too many internally created tools that are not managed - Projects are abandoned after promotion occurs - there are LP (Leadership Principle) die-hards

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
