Pros
Focus on customers rather than on stockholders is a huge plus. Instead of being profit driven, which can lead to cost cutting and lower quality products, Amazon focuses on delivering products that provide the best customer experience. My experience has been five stars, because I am in a job position best suited to my abilities, I am on a really great team with highly capable individuals, and my direct manager provides excellent feedback and advice.
Cons
If your manager doesn't push hard to get you a promotion, promotions can come very slowly. You might be doing that job a level higher for well over a year before the company finally promotes you to that level. Easy to get stuck in a level if you don't challenge yourself.
