Pros

The pay is really good along with the medical benefits. Some individual contributors can find a way to just build their own project. If you can swing this you may have a good time.

Cons

Weak and disorganized leadership. If you are someone who is used to being on a well structured team or organization it can be rough. I would say if you are a veteran especially this can be especially difficult. You will not use industry best practices for anything outside of cloud work. I would strongly avoid Amazon if you are an embedded engineer other than as a short term stop.
