Pros
Amazon offers a lot of freedom to try new things, make your own judgment calls, and prove yourself. You can do basically anything, as long as you can prove its worth to the company.
Cons
Management isn't well organized - your career at the company is basically defined by how well your management chain likes you (and each other). The flexibility they offer can come at the cost of no limits to the working hours or effort required, and you may find yourself working around the clock just to meet the deadlines.
