Pros

I love the fact that customer obsession drives how the company makes progress and innovates. This is a much better way to drive business than being competitor obsessed.

  • Leadership principles drive how we do business and shape the culture. They simplify the expectations from each employee and from each other.
  • It's a very supportive system to make you successful at your future job.
  • I get up to 90 days to train and get my certifications before doing any externally facing work.
  • There's a lot of investment in my development, which will pay off for the company in the long term, as I will be an effective employee who can represent the company, its culture, and its services.

With the recent announcement of Amazon's commitment to reach zero-carbon by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement, it shows why Amazon is the right place if you care about the climate and a sustainable future for everybody. Amazon will drive its carbon from every part of its business and cause ripple effects across many industries as a result. I love being part of this change.

Cons

If you are not mostly in agreement with the leadership principles, it may be hard for some people to succeed.

Advice to Management

Please continue to keep the climate crisis in mind in everything that we do to drive carbon out of our business processes and products. In the near future, that is what our customers will demand from us.
