Pros
Amazon is an inspiring atmosphere where you are surrounded by brilliant minds; no matter your vertical, it is guaranteed that you will meet peers who truly raise the bar.
Cons
Amazon is heavily focused on feedback -- and positive feedback is hard to earn. This can make it a struggle to grow, and advance your career. Additionally, the work/life balance is weighted more towards work, than life (in my personal experience). This is not the case for all teams, but definitely is the case for a lot of the engineering teams.
