Pros

Everyday at Amazon was a challenge, but in a good way. I enjoyed the people a lot...and there were a lot of interesting people that worked in Seattle. The development community was always there to help. Same goes for managers and top execs.

Cons

Used to be a small development shop. It is now a larger corporation, and feels like it. There is a lot of red tape getting things done, especially when projects collide and require the same resources. If it is a "Jeff" project, those always seem to win.

Pros

Amazon provides excellent starting salaries to interns and recent college grads. The benefits and moving packages are excellent and they help you get settled in. The atmosphere is comfortable. While you are only one person in a large company you will find it easy to meet others and they do a good job of helping you feel like part of the team.

Cons

The excellent starting pay may not increase as much as you would like it too after working there for a while. If your team is small expect to be on call a lot and when you are on call expect there to be a lot of problems and little sleep.
