Pros

Salary, Work/Life balance, status, business trips, excellent coworkers

Cons

Amazon has slowly been leaning towards the Day 2 culture it tried to avoid so much. Lot of time wasted in internal training, creating useless content or attending a never-ending list of events that create 0 value for the customers the company. Some people get away with doing so little real work it was surprising. The company, like many other of its competitors, had been hiring too much and when time came to lay off the people that were no longer needed, they handled that in a very poor way that reflected on a poor experience for everyone.
