Pros

Small team feel in a giant company. Flexible work schedule. Large influence on product design and decisions. Freedom to invent and think big. Opportunities to work on just about anything imaginable.

Cons

As with a lot of other companies, Amazon is a "golden handcuff" company. Meaning, bonus compensation is via stocks that take a lot of time to vest, virtually chaining you.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
