Pros

Amazons Pay is very competitive. And with the number of smart people working for the company you will learn a vast amount, especially since there is no real limit on what frameworks and languages a team uses.

Cons

It is a vast corporation, as such you are just a worker ant. You will have very little sway in a greater sense. If you plan on being a developer that codes a lot, you will not be able to move much further than SDE II as Principal engineers act more as TPMs than developers within Amazon as a whole (barring some outliers)
