Pros

Amazon is a busy place with a lot of career opportunities. The company is growing really fast and opportunities are available worldwide. Internal transfers make it possible to move to a different city where the company is located.

Cons

From end of November to end of December is a blackout period at the Amazon fulfillment facilities. No vacation time is allowed during this period.
