Pros

There is a real willingness to engage with colleagues, customers and partners with positive energy, an open mind, active listening, solve problems and drive incredible customer experiences. Amazonians really try to live and breathe the Leadership Principles everyday and I love that they are front of mind in all internal communication.

Cons

There are so many tools and platforms to navigate it can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning. The company is very much a 'self-service' culture so be prepared to raise plenty of tickets for support.
