Pros

Values, vision and customer focus is knitted in every employee making us so focused on taking the right decision in the interest of an employee/customer. We challenge one another, the transparency and being able to say – “I failed” to succeed again is an amazing empowerment. Pros include: Culture Values Leadership styles Amazing smart people that one gets to interact daily Freedom to pick-up and solve issues Trust factor

Cons

Amazon has grown so big now, it is important we retain our culture and inclusiveness. There is certainly work needed in this space to ensure we remain what we are today as we become bigger and bigger.

Pros

1. Fast pace - both in terms of decision making and execution. The company does realize the concept of reversibility for certain decisions 2. Clearly defined and operational guiding principles - Amazon's leadership principles provide clear guidance on how we make decisions everyday. There are discussions and brainstorming but one knows what is valuable e.g. customer obsession 3. Exciting work - the type of work is super exciting. You can directly see a global impact of the work you're doing which is incredibly motivating

Cons

At times figuring out when to stop is the hardest thing. There's so much one can do about the work one is doing but it's upto a person to decide when to call it off a day and take some time out for personal life. Balancing work-life is the art that is difficult for those who haven't figured out.

Everyone is a leader

Pros

Everyone is treated as a leader in Amazon. There are so many opportunities to innovate and experiment. I don't do things here because someone has told me to do so. I do things because I believe they are the right things. I am expected to set my goals and also establish my value. I haven't found any other company where you get so much of feedback.

Cons

It can be very daunting in the beginning. Since the culture is so peculiar here. It takes time to settle in this culture, especially when you come with the baggage of experience. There is a lot of unlearning required in order to succeed here. Culture assimilation cannot be taught as it is a journey of experience that everyone goes through.
