Pros

Challenging work, very high hiring bar, difficult to get a job there, but once you do, you will be working with the top talent in the industry. Many different profit centers within the company (vs. Google, which is highly dependent on ad revenue almost exclusively) and lots of innovation, so there are always new projects going on in almost every area of the company. Amazon has arguably the best cloud computing environment in the industry and is the industry leader in online retail (both the bread-and-butter of the company), but also does many other things (third party merchants, eCommerce platform, subidiaries such as IMDb, A9, etc.).

Cons

Not for everyone--you need to be smart, innovative and independent
