Pros
I am a current employee of AWS, been working here for about 18 months, and really love it. It's fast paced here, you get to work with a lot of really smart people, and the company really makes it easy for people who like to "build". If you have an idea, and are willing to put in the work, you can almost always get it implemented. The company has a strong culture. Many organizations have a set of "values" but they aren't always used or implemented. In Amazon, the company's leadership principles are part of your daily work. They are ingrained in every daily interaction.
Cons
Amazon is not a place where you can sit back and pass the time. Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
