Pros

The people: smart, passionate, interesting. The perks: events, fitness benefit, Prime Card, Orca Card, pay. The location: close to Seattle, beautiful campus. The company: cool new things, also industry staples, tons of opportunities and niches.

Cons

Many older products involve tackling a lot of legacy code and trying to read the minds of developers past. Conducive to developing highly specialized skills, but not necessarily more widely applicable technical growth.
