Pros
Working at Amazon exposes you to a unique work environment. Coworkers are some of the best I've ever had. You get to work for a company where you know you are impacting the way people purchase products on the internet.
Cons
Benefits lacking, management entrenchment, and a homogenized work environment that does not value diversity. Poor code quality, and little desire to change that within the organization. You have to carry a pager and expect to be on the hook for tasks that are not traditionally part of your job description, i.e. production operations support, because there is not an operations team, for instance.
