Pros

Working at Amazon exposes you to a unique work environment. Coworkers are some of the best I've ever had. You get to work for a company where you know you are impacting the way people purchase products on the internet.

Cons

Benefits lacking, management entrenchment, and a homogenized work environment that does not value diversity. Poor code quality, and little desire to change that within the organization. You have to carry a pager and expect to be on the hook for tasks that are not traditionally part of your job description, i.e. production operations support, because there is not an operations team, for instance.

Pros

Compensation and work life balance. Location in downtown seattle is nice for commuting. Benefits package is fine for someone who is single but not great if you're married

Cons

Not much innovation or opportunity for advancement. your yearly awards are not just tied to you past year's performance but also how much you got in previous years. while this may seem fair to the company what it does is penalize people who are consistently good. If you're consistently good, you should be rewarded regardless of how much bonus/stock you got last year. what this does is de-motivate the person to not even try anymore if they did good the previous year.
