Pros

Because you are everything (PM, SDE, SDET, Build/Deployment Engineer, Support Engineer), you can learn a lot. But this comes at a huge cost of sacrificing your life. If you have nothing else to do in life this is a great place for you to kill your time.

Cons

Long working hours carrying a pager which will page you 100's of times when you are on call no work life balance.

Pros

Working at Amazon is technically challenging. Amazon has a very high bar for its employees which results in a company of smart and dedicated people. It is a great place to learn and provides lots of opportunity for growth both in terms of technical skills and in terms of job opportunities. It is very easy to get information about what other teams/groups/departments are doing.

Cons

Work and life balance are hard to maintain at Amazon. Amazon can, and will, suck up all of your time if you let it. Some development teams are heavily burdened by on-call support. One of Amazon's core values is frugality which results in less than optimal health benefits.
