Pros

Amazon is the kind of company you'd go to, when you want to earn your programming chops. I know so many awesome developers who started out at Amazon before they moved on to bigger better things. You'd think that a company with a core value of frugality wouldn't have some of the best salaries and benefits of all the big tech companies, but you'd be wrong.

Cons

Source code wise, Amazon as a company isn't a huge contributor to the programming community - there seems to be a real reluctance to share and collaborate outside of the company, or work on open source software.
