Pros

Amazon is a place where you have an unlimited amount of issues/projects to work on. The company is operated very lean - which means there is always work and interesting problems to solve. You are surrounded by the best of the best when it comes to co-workers. All very bright and focused.

Cons

As I stated - the company is very lean. This also means that alot is expected each employee. Finding a work/life balance is very difficult. (i.e. early morning meetings, evening calls with off-shore partners, pager duty/oncall)
