Pros
I like my team and the people I work with. I do like the daily job/what I do. Location is exciting (South Lake Union). A lot of opportunity to grow and take on more. If you work hard and do well, there's more opportunity to move up compared to more traditional companies.
Cons
All the negative things you hear about Amazon are true: high turn over, tenure is 1 year, work crazy hours, NO work-life balance, no cool benefits like company swag or free food, no appreciation for employees. It's so easy to get burnt out here and they don't care about the employee. They know that if you leave, they will easily find someone else to replace you/someone who wants to work at Amazon.
