Avantages
Amazon is doing a bunch of things that are really at the cutting edge of information technology. Massive scale? Check. Cloud computing? Check. Utility web services? Check. Internet media? Check. You get the freedom to do amazing things. (Mind you, along with that comes the responsibility to do them right.) That's from the engineering point of view. I can't really comment on the retail and supply chain parts of the business.
Inconvénients
You own what you build, which means that you own the operational burden. Also it's a secretive place (not surprising given the retail angle), so don't expect to become an open source hero or A-list blogger. It's frugal - retail margins will do that - so don't expect Google-style goodies.
