Pros
Looks great on your resume. :-) Once you're in, there are multiple opportunities to move around, learn new skills, and you can really create your own path up to a point. Beautiful campus, beautiful city (Seattle).
Cons
Terrible life-work balance. Everyone works so much overtime. If you don't do it too, it makes you look bad. The annual compensation review process at Amazon is one of the most tortuous I've ever experienced. No revenue-based performance bonuses, even when the company is having a stellar year.
