Pros

Great resume-builder, great way to sharpen your tech-industry skills. Endless opportunities to explore and grow skills outside of your comfort zone, provided you are high enough on the food chain and have a supportive manager. Relatively easy to move to a new product/department.

Cons

As a six-year veteran of Prime Video, I was disappointed by what the department had become by the time I finally decided to leave. Little to no interest in diversity or inclusion. Inexcusable bias apparent in nearly every department - you will rarely see an upper management that includes anyone other than white and Indian cis-gendered men. Well-liked and respected people managers regularly pushed out in favor of kingdom-builders and obvious narcissists for whom basic empathy is not part of the job. Overworked employees crying in bathrooms or empty cabanas. 14 hour days and overly taxing on-call rotations.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
