Pros

Scale at which Amazon operates in truly impressive. Lots of flexibility of moving internally. Opportunity to work on all kinds of different problems (high throughput, low latency system, web-scale data, machine learning, robotics, hardware, infrastructure-as-a-service - to name a few).

Cons

Compensation structure is different from other companies (e.g. no annual bonus).

Pros

There are many good things about a company this large: lots of opportunities, lots of impact, lots of support.

Cons

As the company has grown into a behemoth, it is struggling to maintain any part of its Day 1 motto. Things throughout the company are buried in process and political turf wars. Separately, the compensation philosophy is simply stupid: there is no real connection between performance and compensation (it's overwhelmed by the stock price fluctuations).
