Pros

The core values of Ownership, Integrity, Bias for Action, Frugality etc., are all things that I personally approve of and have known to work best for me. The culture of the company fits me very well. In my 7 years, I have not worked on anything that was not of any use to anyone. Essentially, no work/time of mine was spent for nothing. Managers and senior managers are invariably always demanding, challenging and make you do more than what you would have done if left alone. To slightly lazy people like me, that is really helpful. People above my level are invariably role-models. They have amazing process, excellent communication and influencing skills. Very structured thought-process and always focused on the customers.

Cons

For the work one does here, the money one gets is very low.

Pros

* Very fast-paced organization with abundant growth opportunity. Within less time, one would get to work on interesting technology, which might not be possible in other organization. * Working with Smart people and on cool projects * Happy feeling a developer when the code he developed, serves millions of customers of amazon.com

Cons

All Developers are On-call on a weekly rotational basis, The person who is oncall is responsible for solving all critical issues on the go. For smaller teams, rotation frequency would be faster and very hectic.
