Pros

Fast-paced, innovative, breadth of experience, learning opportunities. One of the best companies in the internet space. Fundamentally a technology company that built pretty much everything from ground up.

Cons

Work-life balance, at all levels. Career progression beyond a certain level is too political (at least in my experience). Amazon, for right reasons, is improving its internal processes but in doing that some bureaucracy is introduced as well.

Pros

The people are Amazon's greatest asset. They put a lot of effort into hiring the best people they can find, recruiting is taken very seriously. Some of the smartest people I've met have been colleagues at Amazon.

Cons

The technology can be a little too dated, it is difficult to introduce new technologies, particularly open source technologies. The compensation structure is a complete mystery to most employees, if you come in at a low paying position, your salary will never get very high, but they will make up for it with equity. This isn't everyone's cup of tea.
