Pros
Amazon is a huge company with lots of opportunities to work on cool stuff - and the pay is very good
Cons
Depending on what team you get on it can be a high stress work environment with very long hours (low work/life balance). Most teams have an operational responsibility which means some weeks you will be asked to wear a pager 24/7 to respond to production problems. Poor vacation culture. Average benefits.
