Pros

Been at Amazon for 10+ years and can't say anything negative about the company. There are plenty of different teams and projects to choose from (based on your interests), and the environment is very conductive to moving up in the career ladder. Get to work with very smart people and learn something new on a daily basis. Working on large-scale distributed systems is definitely challenging but also very rewarding when you see your system come to live and be used by millions of customers worldwide.

Cons

Taxes (in Canada). Don't bother applying for a job in Toronto as a senior engineer - you'll just hand over half your paycheque to the government. Go to Amazon US instead!
