Pros

Interesting problems. Good coworkers. Most people keep reasonable hours.

Cons

Your manager and specific team can have a big impact on how happy you are. Retail generally has a less happy reputation than AWS. Pay is generally believed to be less than say Google. Oncall can be brutal on some teams.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
