I have to say that Amazon has a lot of pros for me. There are hard-working people, you get to pick your team, pay is well enough, and they are working on making it more competitive for the tech market. Benefits are great, and there's a great cafe. Depending on the team, you can work out of really any office or go and enjoy some of the great places Amazon has to offer. Work-life balance has been great too!
You might not fit the first team you are hired to, so do not think that's how all teams are.
Amazon can have a lot of acronyms, like the military.
You might get lost in the masses. If you don't take charge of your growth, then you could fall behind or just not be able to keep up. Ensure you are always working on growing at Amazon, because Amazon is a fast-growing company and always working to be the best.
(This might not be a con, more of a heads-up.)
Make sure teams are working hard to get their new team members up to speed and not feeling left to themselves.
