      Pros

      1. on an avg,you will find quite a few smart people around you ( depends on the team) 2. lots of learning opportunities. 3. can easily switch teams within Amazon.com. you can pick teams working on your area of interest or choose one to learn a completely new problem space/technology.

      Cons

      1. stock price has gone down in the last year thereby reducing the paycheck. 2. inconsistent hiring bar across teams. so you will indeed find difference in quality of engineers you work with depending on the team. 3. fast changing requirements may mean that what you worked on for past 1 year is literally trashed.

      Looking for a job after your internship completed? Look somewhere else. Seriously.

      Pros

      You'll learn how the corporate world works. The hard way.

      Cons

      Remember all those nice perks during the internship? You won't get them anymore. No free lodging, no free food, no corporate events, no free tickets to the movies, no work-life balance, no fun. Instead you'll get: an on-call duty (it really messes up your daily/nightly routine), below market pay, stock that never vests and a vague career path. Great deal, right?
