Pros
- free lunch and snacks - resume booster of having worked at an Amazon subsidiary will get you in the door of other jobs (but lasts only so long unless you can demonstrate your skills) - product is leader in its category
Cons
- painfully slow to no real progress - some mid-managers are driven by self interest and unwilling to learn - in some teams you will experience the explicit "be my yes man or you are out" attitude from manager making bad decisions; if you are servile, this is your place. - lots colleagues either acquiesce or give up improving the organization because of house of cards style politics and fear of personal financial and stability loss. - lack truly smart people that inspire real change - lack organizational accountability - some managers dismiss problems in the team only to use them as tools to manipulate and discipline unruly members
