Pros

The biggest pro is that there are so many things you can learn. You will never regret it. (Do an internship here if you have an opportunity).

Before I joined Amazon, I did not know the company had one of the best technologies to manage overall systems & environments.

Very flexible work hours. I get to the office by 10 am or 11 am.

Good compensation and stock options, which are rallying every month.

Good benefits: some employee discounts, free public rides in Seattle.

Having Amazon on your resume is definitely a pro.

Few years ago, the environment for SDEs was premature, but I think it is very stable nowadays, and you can take great benefits and speed up the development process.

Cons

Hard work (but will give you a lot of opportunity to learn) Some level of frugality
