Pros

A respected name in e-commerce and one of the most powerful forces in retail. Innovative ideas that enhance the shopping experience (and Amazon's revenue potential) are abundant. Seattle is lovely and the cafeteria burrito bar is one of the best!

Cons

Unbelievably long hours, no recognition, poor management, micro-management from the very top, no appreciation of staff ('just can them and get someone else'), incredible arrogance towards employees and business partners, etc.

Pros

The great things about amazon are definitely the salary that the company pays its employees and the fact that the company is still young and has lots of market it can still capture. Another huge bonus is that they have a downtown office that's right off the I-90 corridor (but that's going to change soon)

Cons

I think that Amazon.com hires many amateurs, so it's tough to find experts/mentors, unless you're in one of few technically innovative groups. These isolated areas tend to also be the only areas of true technical innovation. The company also has a preference hiring talent instead of developing internal talent.
