Pros

Is a very good learning place. If you are with a good manager, your career path will be very good

Cons

Very bad work life balance. In case your relation with manager is not good, your hard work is all wasted, they will screw you way big time, and no one can stop it as well. Any kind of feedback, even annual peer reviews might backfire, specifically if your manager is not on your side. Recently there are too many people who have been hired, and if you are exactly looking to work with real Amazon people, there aren't many. 80% chances that your neighbor is also in Amazon for less than a year.
