Pros
Hard-working culture meant all co-workers were hard workers and generally good people.
Cons
Amazon doesn't care about its leadership principles unless you're above entry-level. While you are entry-level, the only leadership principle that actually matters is "deliver results" and the only "results" they care about is how much code you produce. I was told in no uncertain terms that working over 40 hours a week was how to get promoted and that I needed to get promoted or be put on a performance improvement plan. You can easily Google how those plans go and what they actually mean. So, I left.
