Pros

Amazon hires only the best and brightest, so you will work with an incredible smart bunch of people. They also do cool things. Every day. So you will work on some of the most exciting projects anywhere.

Cons

The hours are long. The pace is extremely fast. The learning curve is steep. The burnout-rate is high. It is an extremely stressful place to work.
