Pros

You can get to work on some cutting-edge stuff if you manage to find a good team. At its best, Amazon can be a great place to work.

Cons

Work/life balance can be off in certain orgs within Amazon. It really depends where you end up.

In some orgs, many junior and not-so-junior engineers are spending years supporting critical legacy systems and hardly doing any new development.
