Pros

Good place to work. Smart people, doing small jobs as well as big jobs. You will own something. Good pay.

Cons

Get ready to be frugal. This is normally a good thing, but sometimes it is a fault when not managed intelligently. If you don't like something at the company you can change it, but get ready to fight an uphill battle. Still better than M$ though when it comes to inspiring change.

Pros

The scale of the problems Amazon needs to solve are often unique. If you like large scale distributed systems you'll love working at Amazon. There's really very other places where you'll be able to have as much fun. Hours can sometimes be long, but well worth it.

Cons

Advancement is quick for the first couple of levels, but you can hit a proverbial wall once you get a more senior position.
