Pros

Amazon is the kind of company you'd go to, when you want to earn your programming chops. I know so many awesome developers who started out at Amazon before they moved on to bigger better things. You'd think that a company with a core value of frugality wouldn't have some of the best salaries and benefits of all the big tech companies, but you'd be wrong.

Cons

Source code wise, Amazon as a company isn't a huge contributor to the programming community - there seems to be a real reluctance to share and collaborate outside of the company, or work on open source software.

Pros

Forward thinking mentality. Customer centric. Smart colleagues. Good learning experience for how to be frugal, work harder than you ever have and get no feedback or praise in return.

Cons

The intensity would be too much for anyone to deal with. It is very normal for senior-management to yell at each other in large groups and employees. Managers get right in your face. I've always been on the top tier of employee reviews which doesn't matter. Everyone at Amazon is anxiously waiting to get out. So many statements and commitments were broken from the time I interviewed to the time I got the job. My boss changed his tune about almost every issue.
