Pros

Amazon can be a great place to work depending on how you want to job to be and where you want to go with your career. There are lots of great opportunities but the job is frequently rough. - fun culture - lots of interesting work - company is currently heading a great direction

Cons

- some teams have LOTS of legacy baggage - resistance to change - huge amounts of time spent on operations - you should know you'll be carrying a pager around

Pros

smart people enjoy the work and less smart people complain the work, it's a place that makes you grow up.

Cons

on-call policy really makes people stressful and so far didn't hear there's any reward for on-call guys.
