Pros

Amazon strives to be the most customer centric company and they are already going good in that direction. Software development is rapid, challenging and agile. You learn the best leadership principle and apply into your daily life at work. You learn to develop and design cool stuff

Cons

Learning wise its not too good. They have internal tools and scalabe webservices which you use to build any product. No challenges as such at work. You just build your stuff on existing platforms

Pros

Very upfront about expectations. Things move very fast. Amazon places a lot of emphasis on promoting from within. If you want to advance in ranks, there is definitely opportunity to do so. You have to make an effort though and let the right people know that you are interested in growth and opportunity.

Cons

Everyone is placed in categories. There is a separation from warehouse employees (Tier 1) and upper level (Tier 3 and above). At times, people in Tier 1 are "stuck" and it's difficult to advance.
