Pros
High quality and dedication of employees. Interesting and challenging technical problems: scale AND (application) complexity. Cooperative working environment; not excessively political. Amazon still has a lot of new things left to do. Frugailty is taken seriously: the work's the thing. Totally. Seattle is a great place to live.
Kontras
Difficulty being able to leap-frog the state of the art. On-call can be very draining. Compensation is only average (but at least it seems to be average). Benefits aren't stellar. "It's still day one" gets tiresome. Frugality is taken pretty seriously: no frills (i.e. no free anything). Hard to publish or get permission to talk about work outside the company.
