Pros

Learn about web operations and customer centric organization. Teams are self-organized.

Cons

Imbalance between work vs salary and life. The technologies used internally are the same as those used everywhere else. There is no need to come to Amazon to learn them. None is free of operations and night and weekends on-call. People is usually exhausted after 1-2 years of overwork
