Pros

Innovation, innovation, innovation. Work hard. Have fun. Make history. It truly still is "day 1" at Amazon. Amazon loves to try new things and we give people room to fail. Failure is important if one learns from the mistakes. And every now and then great new ideas are born. Look at Web Services, look at things like Mechanical Turk. These are awesome, awesome projects to work on. Amazon has some of the smartest people in the industry. Think of what you can do when you are together with so many great minds!

Cons

The amount of work is often borderline insane and we have a tendency to burn out people. We need to watch this.

Pros

Amazon has consistently surpassed expectations and is one of the most exciting places to work for. As an individual Amazon greatly empowers the employees for decision making.

Cons

As a company Amazon has only recently started to really pay attention to invest in professional growth and career development. The amount of resource it spends on professional growth for employees is below the bar.
