Pros

Working at Amazon can lead you to work with some really intelligent, hard-working engineers on projects at massive scales (think millions of TPS).

Cons

Unfortunately, within Amazon, you can have a variety of differences in leadership quality. Personally, I have had a couple of fantastic managers, but equally as many less competent ones. Additionally, there are a lot of top-down mandates and a seeming lack of ambition from leadership towards growing and externalizing services that have the potential to do so.
