Pros

1. Amazon unleashed creativity of individuals in every role 2. Amazon has tonnes of challenging problems to solve 3. People love projects they work on, if they don't, they easily find ones they love 4. Managers are invested in people's growth, if they are not, team members can choose new teams and move on in a jiffy 5. Salary and Perks are best (see its not #1 in this list) 6. Ample growth opportunities 7. Exposure to international teams, global culture, most projects amazonian work require them to work with teams across US, EU, JP etc and they travel often 8. TPM job is all about influencing, working with teams, empathizing, absorbing and churning lot of technical information, proving your value, it can be pros and cons both. Take it as a challenge for each project you work on or see it as a constantly ongoing rigor. Its how you look at it.

Cons

1. Technology/Domain is complex, can be overwhelming to learn, takes time, so take it easy 2. If not organized, hard to get things done 3. People need to write lot of documents, so develop habit of churning good quality, clear concise, documents if not already

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.
