Pros

In 5 years I've grown 10 as a strategic leader. The scale of influence and value I was able to drive internally and for customers far exceeded any of my previous experience. The platform technology you work with is cutting edge and you're surrounded by top caliber, driven team members. Leadership do try to live by leadership principles and you can see results from the data-driven, straight forward approach to solving challenges.

Cons

Culture and work life balance are two tough areas. The culture is intense and can be cut-throat. It encourages you to promote yourself over your team, and the company will take every minute of your day if you don't set boundaries. There's little emphasis on retaining talen. The promotion process can be brutal and I've seen it discourage truly great leaders from wanting to stay at the company.

Pros

High compensation. AWS Cloud is dominant cloud.

Cons

Barebones office environment. Poor tooling (e.g. Office 2016, no calendaring). Stack ranking management system (e.g. Jack Welch - cut the bottom even if the bottom is good). Employees are replaceable and are just objects to generate revenue for Amazon.
