Pros
Amazon's Leadership Principles (e.g., Customer Obsession) are real, not some marketing/PR stuff made just to look good. Unlike some other companies, I've seen top leaders use the Leadership Principles to make decisions. We also use them for hiring, promotion, and general feedback.
Cons
I've seen a lot of variability between teams. My team is amazing and I know many other happy employees, but I've also seen a few toxic groups. Be sure to ask a lot of questions and try to get a feel for who you will be working with.
