Pros
No... nobody is crying at their desk. Work-life balance in my team is pretty good. Off-hand project management. Within a certain constraint, you can work however you want, whatever you want, and whenever you want. A lot of smart people around you. People respect you because you work for Amazon.
Cons
Recent large scale hiring brought some mediocre engineers to the company. Bad onboarding experience. Amazon relies on your team to onboard you. When the team doesn't have a plan, you get in trouble. I can see that if you are not a top-notch developer, you may struggle with the job. People have high expectations and no one is gonna tell you that you are doing a good job. NO FREE LUNCH
