Pros

The people are Amazon's greatest asset. They put a lot of effort into hiring the best people they can find, recruiting is taken very seriously. Some of the smartest people I've met have been colleagues at Amazon.

Cons

The technology can be a little too dated, it is difficult to introduce new technologies, particularly open source technologies. The compensation structure is a complete mystery to most employees, if you come in at a low paying position, your salary will never get very high, but they will make up for it with equity. This isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Pros

It's a growing company with a lot of new ideas and you get to make a lot of people happy. They are always looking for a way to expand and grow. Once you get your foort in the door as a manager you have a lot of room to grow. A wide variety of job titles.

Cons

Pay if you are a Teir 1 or 3 associate. It's a 10 year old company but still seems new at running things. Safety is only claimed to be its priority. As a ever changing company you can get lost day to day in decision making and changes.
