Pros

You will learn and grow at twice the pace compare to other companies. Plenty of training opportunities. Best engineers in the world. Very engaged and hard-working workforce. Amazon's 'Leadership Principles' make sense, are used every day, and are what makes the company tick.

Cons

Hard to achieve work-life balance. Not recommended if change of direction makes you dizzy. Getting promoted is harder than in other places. If a manager / executive - expect bigger responsibilities but smaller title compare to other companies.
