Pros

Responsibility includes a lot of knowledge on systems end to end. From requirement gathering till deployment and maintenance. This gives complete understanding of a software life cycle. As SDE's are the ones who architect the systems not just code, it gives complete motivation and long careers. If you are a geek, you will enjoy the stuff you do at Amazon.

Cons

In my view, only bad with Amazon is just because of bad managers, they are more in number.
