Amazon

• Amazon's Leadership Principles are known by all employees and put into practice.
• It's easy to change roles or switch to a different team. You are not limited to a specific scope of work; if you can do more and grow, you can take ownership and drive your ideas.
• Mentors are available.
• Ideas are valued, no matter your level.
• It is common to meet with your skip manager regularly, as well as your manager. This helps strong individual contributors to not get stuck under a manager by gaining wider visibility.

I have some coworkers who are not as satisfied due to their team's management. My best advice to them would be to change team, since you are enabled to. There are many new teams that are growing and looking for talent.

To retain talent, ensure people can be promoted without difficulty if they are performing above the 50% bar at the next level. Performance and driving significant projects should override tenure at a level.

Also, commit to developing employees at FC locations, beyond Associates degrees.
