Pros

Teams focus on real customer problems. Amazon allows engineers to do the right thing by focusing on the customer problems. Teams can work independently without many dependencies across the company.

Cons

Sometimes it is a lot of work to keep a service running and it can be stressful. Team can however address this itself, so you can't really blame company if you didn't do good work in building your service.

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.
