Pros

I have never seen any company as customer-obsessed as Amazon is. Usually, customer obsession and other customer-related principles are papers in most companies, but here we use them to drive day-to-day decisions. It is quite clear from day one that the customer comes first, and everything we do here is to improve customer experience.

As a Business Intelligence Engineer, I get to analyze and work with immense data and multiple data points. Each business in Amazon works as an independent company, and you are given quite an independence to take good decisions on behalf of the business.

As an individual contributor, I feel that I have the liberty to work independently with no micromanagement whatsoever.

Cons

Being such a big company, and as an employee of one in thousands, it can be overwhelming and you can feel lost. However, it is only a matter of time before you can own any part of the process and become a critical part of the teams you are working on. So, I have no cons so far with this company.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work!
