Pros

Amazon provides good environment for learning and improving your skills. You get to work with a lot of amazing co-workers. The environment is fast-paced and the pay is good.

Cons

Easy to burn out if you aren't careful. You need to learn to push back on unreasonable requirements and timelines. Focus on key deliverables and avoid taking on more things than you can handle.
