      Pros

      Great place to get started. You can work with a lot of difference technologies and get the Amazon stamp of approval on your resume.

      Cons

      My personal experience as an SDE Intern screened me from a lot of the downsides of working at Amazon, but I know many other fellow interns whom had to work continuous extra hours (all the time, not just at push). In addition the Amazon work model lends itself to being "on-call" - a.k.a. giving up your personal life for a week once every two months to support your team's software.

      Excellent place to work with great starting pay with slightly too much demand for your personal time.

      Pros

      Amazon provides excellent starting salaries to interns and recent college grads. The benefits and moving packages are excellent and they help you get settled in. The atmosphere is comfortable. While you are only one person in a large company you will find it easy to meet others and they do a good job of helping you feel like part of the team.

      Cons

      The excellent starting pay may not increase as much as you would like it too after working there for a while. If your team is small expect to be on call a lot and when you are on call expect there to be a lot of problems and little sleep.
