Pros

Amazon gives tons of ownership if you want it. Your title is less important than your knowledge and ability to back it up.

Cons

Amazon will take whatever you will give, and then ask for more. They are perfectly fine pushing people to work long hours for 'releases' which happen all the time, and for ones that actually are big expect to kiss the world away. Don't forget your pager.
