Pros

I joined directly from the university as an SDE I. Amazon maintains really high bar for all the things they do. I got thrown into those pool of people and you eventually become like that. -No micro management -flexibly work hours -can take vacation any time (at least in my team) -can move to other internal teams very easily. Plenty of oportunities there. - work on some rare problems that no other company in the world is working on.

Cons

-lot of stress -oncall issues. -pay changes only ones a year. If you do well for 6 months there is no reward for it.

Pros

Very interesting and challenging work, I love coming to work every day. Hours are extremely flexible as long as you're getting your work done. Expectations are high but everyone is super smart and helpful so there are a lot of opportunities for mentorship by senior engineers.

Cons

No cons that I can think of some nice to haves would be employer paid family health insurance and maybe free food like some of the other tech companies!
