Pros

1. Some of the best minds in the world work with you. 2. You're given to work on cutting edge technology 3. Amazon.com has a huge internal software base, and many in-house frameworks are developed.

Cons

1. You have to support what you deliver, this includes a lot of operational tasks, which is a pain for SDE. 2. As you work on most of the in-house frameworks you dont generally get to use the industry standard frameworks. 3. Employees are just working machine for them, frugality is the main principle and that reflects in every coffee machine in amazon, leave alone goodies or office parties.
