I'll mention it because no one else has yet:
A big reason not to work for Amazon is that they make their employees sign non-competes. Thankfully those are unenforceable in California, but I still find it a reprehensible practice, even if it wouldn't apply to me. It's shitty when it's enforced (and they have done that), but it's still shitty even when it's not as it creates a chilling effect. Even the threat of enforcing a non-compete (even if that threat is 100% implied) is enough to hurt post-Amazon employment opportunities. I don't want to support that.
There's also being associated with their warehouse conditions and low pay (relative to similar companies), but others have covered that elsewhere.
