Pros

Smart people, interesting projects IF you are lucky enough to be on that team.

Cons

A lot of management overhead and redundancy, a lot of NIH syndrome, and a LOT of stress due to every engineer doing on-call. On a large team this might mean one week out of every 3 months.. On a small team it might mean one out of every 3 weeks.

Pros

Amazon is one of the few companies in the United States where a software development engineer can create products (e.g., EC2, S3, EBS) that customers are rapidly adopting all over the world. And you can be sure that the engineers you'll be working with will be very talented and productive too.

Cons

No major cons at Amazon.
