      Startup or Corporate? Maybe both.

      Pros

      Interesting technologies, great new projects, with tremendous positive impact on the customer. It's a great place to learn about how to run a business. You can have exposure to as many facets as you please. It's relatively easy to move internally. Lots of great people who work in this company.

      Cons

      Operational load. It is assumed that employees also take on operational duties off hours during a prescribed rotational schedule. Depending on your team, this could be very taxing. Ideas a sought after, but they are rarely pursued, it is very hard to turn an idea into a product in any company but Amazon is still more corporate than startup in this aspect.

      Great people, good company, incomprehensible compensation model

      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.
