Pros

Amazon is pushing the envelope with new technology especially in the cloud computing and ebook space. Amazon has many interesting projects to take advantage of all the interesting information it has on its user base.

Cons

Amazon can be extremely stressful and political. Personal freedom to get interesting work done has virtually disappeared in the recent past.

Pros

Great people, autonomy, ownership, fast-paced and innovating environment.

Cons

Work life balance can be improved a little. Better planning from management and business for product releases earlier in the dev lifecycle. Benefits could be improved.

Pros

Tremendous ability to make changes. Increasing use of lean production principles creates a great laboratory to master LEAN. Work with the smartest group of people imaginable and move at breakneck speed. Make an impact bigger than yourself.

Cons

Managers are servants and garner much less respect than the hourly employee, a good thing up to a point that is often surpassed. Meanwhile the hours can be quite long and there is tremendous ambiguity matched with a high degree of accountability.
