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.
