Pros

Amazon is a giant company, but any employee I know shares the company leadership principles. This is the most important thing that makes Amazon peculiar in my opinion, and this is something I find extremely valuable.

Cons

Working in AWS can be very challenging for various reasons: it's a very fast moving environment, where very challenging problems are dealt with by very smart people. So you'll have to work very hard to keep the bar high!

Pros

The company is sanely run and tries to improve itself constantly.

Cons

Within retail, at least, there can be a little too much churn of trying to coordinate between large organizations. Some say that you have to work crazy hours. Personally, it was less than at any other job I have held - far better than most startups - but I presume that it depends on where you end up in the company. It's a big place, I expect that you can find almost any working environment, somewhere.
