Pros

The company is sanely run and tries to improve itself constantly.

Cons

Within retail, at least, there can be a little too much churn of trying to coordinate between large organizations. Some say that you have to work crazy hours. Personally, it was less than at any other job I have held - far better than most startups - but I presume that it depends on where you end up in the company. It's a big place, I expect that you can find almost any working environment, somewhere.

Pros

Salary is high. Flexible working hours - can work from home. Heath insurance is best. Learn a lot of tech and smart and passionate colleagues.

Cons

Some teams less allow to work from home. Less salary comparing to Seattle headquarter. High tax rate. Need to find a team that has a good manager.

Pros

Amazon is a great place to get started for young engineers. Lots of cool stuff to learn. You have the chance to become a true full-stack engineer who is familiar with all stages in the software development life cycle.

Cons

There will be lots of work to do. Work life balance is not good. Career growth is limited as there are fewer job levels.
