Pros

Internally very data-driven Office/org politics are rare and generally boil down to what maximizes customer benefit, not silly posturing over positions. Deep and broad knowledge base within the talent pool Continuous opportunities to learn and grow Adherence to Amazon Leadership Principles isn't just lip service Employees can move around freely to find teams/projects they are excited about

Cons

Employees can move around freely to find teams/projects they are excited about Operational overhead can be high and constant, for some services Promotion bar is consistently high, can be tough to get beyond mid-level positions in engineering and management.

Pros

Amazon is an incredible place to work and presents a constant set of challenges for me. I see my career growing exponentially while I am here and I feel very privileged to be here. The distributed nature of the Company makes each team I have worked for feel extremely different and this fact also means that individuals have a great deal of power in shaping their teams culture and values.

Cons

The head office is located in Seattle which has caused a significant amount of inequality in this city. Amazon offers employment in many cities around the world but more should be done in Seattle to ensure the city remains relevant to everyone and not just those privileged enough to work for Amazon.
