Pros
I am constantly challenged and learn new things everyday. I am surrounded by smart, hard-working people and have built great relationships with colleagues, managers, stakeholders and mentors. Everyone has the opportunity to pivot their role into what they want it to be, but if they can't, the option to transfer is always there (and even encouraged). I love the white paper culture because I'm not a strong presented, but it still gives me the opportunity to have a voice and push my ideas forward. There is also a clear path to promotion, which I think limits nepotism and favoritism. There are a lot of networking/training events that are lots of fun to attend too. Oh, and dogs in the office!
Cons
I personally feel overwhelmed sometimes, but it's not at the fault of my team or manager - I am naturally a competitive person and there are some really impressive people here who are my same job "level" and set the bar super high. One thing that is particularly frustrating is how much things change - I've had four managers in the last year, and I've been moved to different teams I didn't sign up to due to reorgs. But I'm adapting the best I can, because I know any company growing as fast as Amazon would share this same characteristic, and overall I love the work I'm doing as long as I feel like I'm learning and driving an impact.
