Pros

Note: My Rating and review is by comparing Amazon and Oracle as my previous employers. * Smart people * Great time-off * work-life balance is good * In general good benefits.

Cons

* Politics * Really old developer tools. * Reinventing the wheel over an over and over and over and over again. * Slow development * Can be frustrating if you come from opensource world. * If you don't love MS stuff, It can be a nightmare. You must love IE for example :/ or accept it at least.
