Pros
My skills, network, career and compensation have never stopped growing at Amazon. I’ve achieved great work-life harmony.
Cons
Your manager is 90% of what matters at Amazon. I’ve seen more than one person get completely screwed when a re-org gave them a bad manager. I’ve seen people I look up to driven out of the company, when less than a year before they were given the highest possible rating by a different manager. Amazon does have a system that lets people appeal manager decisions, but it’s sort of a coin toss.
