Pros

fast learning, edge of the technology, extreme freedom, get to own entire systems end to end, get to see the entire process of how products are developed.

Cons

no work life balance, software developers are not respected in general. Too many hacky things as part of the culture.

Pros

The people that work here are often extremely dedicated and smart, and are content with less while doing more. Some of those people are pretty good role models and in general everyone is pretty helpful and kind.

Cons

The work life balance depends on the team you are working on. I have seen people that work all of their weekends and I have seen people that barely work their hours. Also in general the company does not invest into their employees much, this is the amazon's frugality at play. You get the bare minimum to get your work done and nothing more unless you have a very good reason to need it, so don't expect much love in that aspect.
