Pros
Amazon is a great place to learn about distributed computing, scaling, writing web services, and learning rapid software development. It's not the sweat shop that a lot of people describe, and the company as a whole is not afraid to try new things.
Cons
The perks can be better (no free food or drinks), and so can the benefits. From time to time, you do have to go oncall.
