Pros

Industry respect. Focus on the engineer and finding creative solutions.

Cons

A normal 40 hour work week is virtually unknown by anyone working at Amazon. The company's value of frugality sometimes is penny-wise and pound foolish. Don't expect as many perks as you'd see at Google or Microsoft.

Pros

No better place to learn about the ins and outs of e-commerce and sound web-based application development. Truly breaking ground with a scale no one else can match. I find that the lessons I learned at Amazon are useful in my current job and anticipate that I will continue to find new uses for skills honed there.

Cons

If you're business isn't the main focus of the company, then it can suffer, and you suffer, too. Amazon's core retail business and recent technology platform businesses took precedence over the Amazon Services busines, placing our team in a very difficult position--unable to please both our "master" and the client.
