Pros
Truly a start up. Although a big company Amazon still enjoys a start up environment, you will quickly get responsibility over diverse areas and will have a unique learning opportunity
Cons
Hectic. Sink or swim. As said, Amazon is truly a startup. But that doesn't really work well for a company that size. There is significant lack of structure and support. Learning is hard as the communications between teams are not good. Heavily micromanaged. This trickles down directly from the CEO. Jeff, trusts no one and knows better then everyone, and as a result most managers act the same.
