Pros
I had a good signing bonus.
Cons
I was systematically mistreated by a “mafia” of Indian managers, who formed a collusive stack of incompetence and strategic malevolence. Most managers I met were brow beating “bar raisers” who sit atop of a broad base of demotivated engineers. Amazon is a terrible company to work for as an engineer and they will throw you away without mercy while Jeff B makes another billion dollars per minute. If you complain about the pro-Indian racism, HR will look the other way and then your manager will start lying about your job performance. Even the manager I joined Amazon to work for quit after my second week because as a white man in a racist Indian sweatshop called “Alexa”, he knew his career was going nowhere. I should have quit then also, but I had a belief in my duty. Amazon monopolises people, and they’ve fallen prey to the horizontal scaling mythos of exploiting the H1B visa.
