Pros

Amazon has a very unique culture which can sometimes be intimidated for people who do not fit the corporate principles but for others it may be a perfect fit. Definitely a company that will do anything to please customers and constantly invent.

Cons

The company is very hierarchal and occasionally extremely inefficient. Maintains huge technical debt and doesn't use modern technology. Relationship with open source is disgracing.
