Pros

Junior engineers get a lot of meaningful, high impact projects. A lot of the technological problems have already been solved in a very scalable fashion, so someone right out of college is empowered to build great stuff.

Cons

As you progress in your career it's getting harder to find challenges to solve. Even though one of Amazon's tenets is think big and long term investment, sometimes shipping features fast trumps all of that.
