      Pros

      Lots of +ves about Amazon like - ability to make an impact to end users - talented and smart people to work with - no need to re-invent the wheel for the most part, so get to work on exciting stuff

      Cons

      -ves - pager duty for SDE, this sucks you are pretty much tied down to your work/home for that week as you need to respond to pages within minutes - do not agree with stack ranking for reviews - higher burn out rate, usually see developers lasting about 2 years before they move on

      Experience depends on your manager

      Pros

      You get to work with a lot of smart, talented people. Amazon has a fast paced environment that encourages innovation. You can work on a lot of interesting projects and get to try out new ideas.

      Cons

      Most people at Amazon will have a lot of managers during their career. A colleague of mine had 13 managers in 4 years. Your experience at Amazon largely depends on your manager. If you have a bad manager, you will have have a bad expeience at Amazon. Poor managers do not give any feedback to their direct reports and emphasize face time over results. I know of many people whose manager actively blocked their transfer to another group. Going to HR also does not help as they will always take the side of the manager. Also, you should expect to work long hours at Amazon.
