Pros

Amazon hires talented people. If you're lucky, you may work on interesting technology. Good customer facing policies.

Cons

Terrible work life balance. Development engineers get no respect. Engineers spend most of their time dealing with operational support for old technology components instead of building things. Company is obscenely tight-fisted (frugal). Employee churn is high. Back loaded stock vesting schedule - the company expects you to quit before you get your stock.
