Pros

High minds around you Challenging tasks sometimes may be redundant Fast moving tasks and have to be quick with your mind

Cons

Competition between peers. Peers don't help each others in some teams for their self benefits. This brings toxicity among the peers and introduce heavy politics. Firing culture - Amazon fires 10% of employees each year and this mandatory. Even employees working hard more than 12 hours they can be fired. You can have multiple sleepless nights and still get harsh feedbacks from your manager.
