Pros

Work with different technologies, in a highly scalable environment. Not a lot of structure.

Cons

Amazon would rate significantly higher if it were located somewhere else. Unfortunately, it is located in an area that has a poor quality of life. If you are single, and unencumbered then it is not a bad place to work at all. it isn't a place to work for the long term. It's a short term gig because it is not really easy to work at Amazon and also have a life. Seattle is either crazy expensive, or just plain screwed up depending on where you choose to live. Bad government, makes a bad place to live. Amazon does it's best in a bad situation but it could definitely be much better.

Pros

Lots of exciting project to work with ranging from Cloud Computing to all aspects of e-commence. Live in Amazon.com is never boring.

Cons

Except for teams working on Cloud Computing, most teams working on traditional e-commerce are project driven and led by former PMs so the upside for SDEs to become managers is limited.
