Pros

I joined Amazon right after college. It has been more than six years with Amazon in different teams, but I still enjoy and learn each and every day.

Amazon has a strong set of principles (Leadership Principles) which they adhere to very religiously. I feel these principles set you up nicely to become a great engineer.

Cons

Amazon is a very, very large company. Culture varies from team to team, org to org. There is a good chance that the team/org that you end up on might have cultural issues. Also, since Amazon has been in existence for a very long time, there is a good chance that you end up working on teams that own legacy code. Sometimes working/developing in these teams can be a pain.
