Pros

So much smarter a company than Microsoft (where I came from). Middle-managers know what their job is...reconciling inconsistencies between teams and setting the right priorities for customers.

Cons

None, I love working here. The people are smart, management is awesome, and the company is growing every day. Technically, the engineering is Service-Oriented-Architecture hell...it takes forever to introduce a change and integrate it with the rest of the environment because everything is so complicated.

Pros

Working at Amazon for the last 4 years, it has been the best place I've worked so far. Engineers and management loves the customers. Pretty much any great idea can be taken to market - who would of thought a book selling company would be a world leader in cloud computing ? There is also lots of opportunity to move around the company provided that you have good relationship with your peers and direct manager. Last but not least, the CEO is really really smart and genuinely cares about his top performing employees. Whether he anticipated it or not, the hiring freeze BEFORE the recession hit was pure genius. One of the few companies with zero recession layoffs.

Cons

Biggest complaint is the spotty performance of managers, especially the bad apples. Bad apples are allowed to work their employees like a dog and fire them even if they are really good performers. If you get stuck with a bad manager, be nice and quietly change groups before they ruin your reputation. If you are not a top performer in reference to your peers, best not join the company because your pay is highly tied to how well you do in your performance reviews.

Pros

Smart people with a desire to get stuff done. I really love the intensity of the dialog, competition, and the desire to be the best.

Cons

Getting a bad performance review for reasons outside your control can mean death within the organization. HR policies are unforgiving when people are put into a bad situation due to circumstance. Thankfully, it rarely happens.
