Pros
You might be able to afford a house some day. The cafeteria food is pretty good and reasonable priced.
Cons
Mandatory on-call. I've experienced it as frequently as 1 week out of 3 for several months at a time. Some of the teams regularly have their oncall woken up in the middle of the night on most nights for minor issues. A lot of the oncall work could be automated away, but automation never gets prioritized because there is always some upcoming deadline for a big important project. I've been told by multiple people that the "leadership principal" about Amazon striving to be "Earth's best employer" is only for PR and I shouldn't expect anyone to balance it against "customer obsession".
