Pros

As a Software development manager at Amazon, I enjoy coming to work everyday knowing that my team's efforts are having a significant impact on the world's largest e-commerce site. I am talking in the xxx million dollar per year range. There is a lot of latitude in choosing how to work and the direction of your product. Every person I have met so far is quite bright and enjoyable to work with. Compensation is great especially compared to the broader, more legacy IT companies.

Cons

Rapid/frequent organization change. Some engineers are promotion driven instead of customer obsessed.

Pros

Amazon hires leaders who think/act like owners. If you are ambitious and have high degree of ownership Amazon is the place for you. Every team runs like startups and most of the decisions are made by the team members. Basically bottomup management.

Cons

If you are looking for a job for just paycheck this is not your place.
