Pros

Amazon will offer you more money than you ever expected and entice you with sign on bonuses and stock packages that almost double your salary the first couple of years.

Cons

THEY ARE NOT EVOLVING. Everything with their leadership principles does not apply to upper leadership. The entire experience is about becoming an Amazonian - aka - don't think for yourself. Don't every think outside of the box, and whatever you do, don't try to collaborate. My entire experience was the worst with cold people, competition, rules that cannot be broken or changed, even if they are outdated ways of thinking. The few who still held on to a bit of their authenticity were hard to find, but they were constantly in fear and struggling.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
