Amazon

Career growth opportunities within Amazon are vast. The fantastic (and lengthy) onboarding process really helps provide a solid foundation for new employees to understand the culture and expectations. I have never worked for an organization that places so much emphasis on the Leadership Principles. If you're being interviewed, learn them and have some solid examples that speak to them; you will be asked.

It can be overwhelming initially, with lots of information coming at you. The risk is trying to consume too much. The company is massively data-driven, which can be different from other organizations and a bit of a culture shock.

If you're good at being self-sufficient and working things out, you'll be fine. If you need to be walked through things, you might struggle. That is not to say there is no support, as there is a ton. More that you are expected to self-serve.

Amazon hires amazing people, and it is very common to feel imposter syndrome when you first start. It's totally natural to feel this. They have not made a mistake – the hiring process is the best I've ever seen, IMHO.

I haven't been with Amazon long enough to have a strong opinion, but from what I've seen, don't change too much, as it is working.
