Pros

Fast paced. Learn a lot, get insight into the best logistics company on earth.

Cons

Look, the only people that are going to be satisfied working at Amazon long term are people that have no children or any kind of a life outside of work. I would recommend working at Amazon for a few years if you are under 30, want to see how a perfect logistics operation works, and need a Fortune 500 company on your resume. But for heaven's sake, do not stay there, unless you really want to work 60 hours a week the rest of your life.

Pros

Minimal, Good brand on your CV.

Cons

Expectation to work all hours of the day - way beyond the norm of reasonable. People were expected to work evenings, weekends, whilst on holidays etc. I also agree with another review that mentioned about the rapid growth - whilst existing employees were expected to suck up the double or triple workload this created. I understand the values - but they took frugality to another level. I have never worked anywhere quite so shabby, it made me depressed walking into the office every day.
