Pros
The company is very customer centric, and tries to do the right thing for the customer. If you find right manager and mentor, you can build a good rewarding career here. The key is, right manager and mentor. Amazon is not a bad stepping stone to other companies where you can grow technically.
Cons
The work culture is brutal here. Sub-standard hardware, open rooms with lots of noise and chaos. Hard to get any work done. Everyday seems like a fire drill. And to add to that, middle management has no clue and is running around like chicken without a head. Managers have no vested interest in nurturing and developing their employees. You basically have to fend for yourself.
