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.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
