Pros
Amazon is the best place I've worked for teaching and requiring people to be intelligent and thoughtful in their business decisions. If you want to learn how to think and execute intelligently, go to Amazon, learn how to structure your thinking in written formats (business docs), and you'll come out much better for it.
Cons
Amazon gets a bad reputation as being "too intense". I'd say that it's not intense, just focused. The majority of employees are good people and enjoyable to be around, and they care very strongly about furthering the company's success.
