Pros

If you're lucky, you will be paid well, but that entirely depends on the team and the manager. Some very smart people to work with.

Cons

It's a huge corporate behemoth at this point. Management is mostly clueless and is heavily based on brownnosing. Most of the developers hired in last 2 years don't care about writing good code. The process is getting more and more constricting. People are leaving and leaving.

Unprofessional and unethical

Pros

Good people,mentorship from manager, great exposure

Cons

Poor work culture in Some offices due to entitlement issues of most employees. Is filled with Amazon rejects(not all of them are bad; but the group I worked for was ridiculous), Amazon rejects also play dirty politics and hire their friends without due process. People who aren't from Amazon are discriminated against very openly. In general, the environment in the team is very unethical in decision making, with no promotions to deserving employees and some managers even being abusive and unethical(sometimes illegal like revealing salaries and personal information to peers) and mostly just ganging up on team members. Fosters a very unhealthy attitude towards work and management. If you overwork people, atleast have the courtesy to pay them well. Only want their subordinates to sing their glowing praise and nod heads.

Pros

nice offices, free food & drinks, plenty of fun team members below management level, great salary, no dress code

Cons

the goals change with the months and they don't seem to want to finish any projects before trying to rally teams behind something else. management is always reshuffling and not a lot of room for career growth unless someone leaves the company. also has all the worst challenges of working for amazon, with very few of the pros.
