Pros
At Amazon, they push to the limit. The old saying by Bezos is completely true, you must work long, hard, and smart. It makes you realize how much you can really accomplish.
Cons
Very little engagement and high turnover. The stress accumulates very quickly if you don’t manage it well, leading to the inevitable burnout. A lot of employees have left because of that. There are no policies in place to help manage it. Mental health days do not exist at Amazon, unfortunately. This is my biggest gripe with the company.
