Pros
Amazon has a unique culture based on their leadership principles. Working for 15+ years in US companies, this is the first time those are really used every day. There is always an opportunity to grow. Treat it like a training camp for triathlon. There is still a lot of great talent even after several have left.
Cons
In general, AWS asks for ownership but continues to apply more processes and micro-management behavior. Even with the strong leadership principles as a foundation, AWS becomes "just another tech company". At AWS you need to work hard, long and smart. It is a serious challenge.
