Pros

Challenging problems from real world combined with Amazon scale makes most scalable solutions obsolete in few years. Pace of development is fast. Each employee is a leader and an owner. Its great to be among people who are constantly improving things because they want to and not because they are asked to.

Cons

Oncall support can be bad. Work life balance, growth, etc - A lot depends on your manager. I am lucky to have a good manager but not everyone is.

Cons

These are specific to Bangalore, India - Poor higher management - Least number of facilities for employees - Even a simple task is made into a firedrill - Poor work-personal life balance - Repetative nature of tasks
