Pros

It is the place to be for e-commerce. You won't get this kind of experience anywhere else. For someone with little experience, its a great place to get a lot of responsibility quickly.

Cons

The company hates to promote engineers. If you want to get promoted past SDE-II you're much better off becoming a manager. Some groups have bad support burdens and management doesn't seem to care. The environment itself is pure chaos. Goals and priorities change constantly.

Pros

There is no micromanaging on my team, and I'm free to make whatever corrections I deem are necessary. If I see a problem and decide it needs fixing there is nothing in my way, and I enjoy this freedom.

Cons

On-call duty can be painful at times. Essentially house arrest for a week at a time once every two months can be frustrating. This can vary greatly from team to team, however my team is particularly bad.
