Pros

High salary would be the very first thing :) work experience in amazon is an added advantage - your talent is already proven if you are into amazon(at least that is what the impression is! ;) )

Cons

Not everyone gets to develop as such. Like any other well established companies, SDEs should do support work as well in the name of ownership.

Pros

The good thing is that they pay you for your work. in addition they have some really great and smart people that you get to work with. The best people usually move up in the company.

Cons

They work you for long hours. In addition there is always a big turnover rate and one that should probably be addressed as soon as possible.

Pros

Amazon hires only the best and brightest, so you will work with an incredible smart bunch of people. They also do cool things. Every day. So you will work on some of the most exciting projects anywhere.

Cons

The hours are long. The pace is extremely fast. The learning curve is steep. The burnout-rate is high. It is an extremely stressful place to work.
