Pros

Interesting problems to solve every day, very smart people all around to work with, scale of operations make you push your limits, relatively short lifecycle of projects enable you to see the end results sooner than later, every engineers voice counts if you know what you are talking about. Different organizations of the company are like a startup within itself, there are always new technologies being developed, it's fascinating the amount of high tech impact each one these projects has.

Cons

Operational load can sometimes overwhelm engineers, since there is so much at stake when you are making a change to the architecture.

Pros

Learn about scaling and customer obsession. good work environment for junior engineers, there is a lot to learn within Amazon. Open culture for engineers to learn and exchange. The best place to be to understand retail, and yet has some very interesting teams

Cons

Long hours, little fun. Too frugal. Engineers operate in silos. You barely know the people in the next office. If you are in a service that requires to inter-operate with other teams, you have a tough time. Its very hard to get roadmaps aligned and it requires frequent iteration. The usual answer you can expect is "we dont have this on the roadmap for this year"
