Business outlook
Pros
1. on an avg,you will find quite a few smart people around you ( depends on the team) 2. lots of learning opportunities. 3. can easily switch teams within Amazon.com. you can pick teams working on your area of interest or choose one to learn a completely new problem space/technology.
Cons
1. stock price has gone down in the last year thereby reducing the paycheck. 2. inconsistent hiring bar across teams. so you will indeed find difference in quality of engineers you work with depending on the team. 3. fast changing requirements may mean that what you worked on for past 1 year is literally trashed.
