Pros
Good compensation package, no state tax in Washington. Competitive with Google and Microsoft. A lot of exciting teams to work on, which was surprising, especially to those that view Amazon as a "bookstore." Teams are usually small, divided into two pizza teams, meaning that each team can be fed by two pizza. This is nice.
Cons
Employees don't get their own offices, which can sometimes make it hard to program. But of course, this is the case at most programming companies, so it's not really Amazon specific. They have no offices in California, so you pretty much have to move to Seattle.
