Pros
Amazon was an awesome place to learn. The whole company is very data and document centric. It's very easy to find designs and documentation for almost any project you want to know about. Principal engineers also give a lot of tech talks that are recorded and available to anyone in the company. I learned so much at Amazon.
Cons
Work here is very fast paced. To survive you need to get pretty good at scheduling. Managers listen to data though so if you can show evidence that you don't have enough time for a project they will work with you to adjust scope. It can get very stressful if you are not good at this or don't have a great manager though.
