Pros

Amazon strives to be the most customer centric company and they are already going good in that direction. Software development is rapid, challenging and agile. You learn the best leadership principle and apply into your daily life at work. You learn to develop and design cool stuff

Cons

Learning wise its not too good. They have internal tools and scalabe webservices which you use to build any product. No challenges as such at work. You just build your stuff on existing platforms

Pros

Compensation, $$$$$$, latest technology, did I mention the pay, smart coworkers,

Cons

CRAZY work hours 12+ on a daily basis, but I guess that's why they pay you CRAZY amounts of money. If you don't work more than 8 hours on a day then you are looked down on, and probably be fired. If you have a family, you will not get to see them that often.
