      Pros

      The high employment bar means you will work with wonderful people. There is no dearth of good work either. If you start enjoying this atmosphere, you will grow and grow.

      Cons

      Mostly hectic schedule. Relentless high standards. Keep pace with everyone else or you would not see yourself grow. As a developer not just development skills but leadership skills matter as well.

      Pros

      Good Software Engineering processes. You will learn a lot while working at Amazon that will be useful for the rest of your career. Smart people working there.

      Cons

      Job title deflation. I'm not usually bothered by things like job titles, but after many years in the same role, it can cause real problems with your career. It also means that you are underpaid compared to other companies. Getting a promotion appears to be close to impossible. As others have said, long hours are the norm. As well as being on call one week a month. The office being in an unpopular location in the city didn't help with the commuting time.
