Pros

Ownership based, pro-development culture.

The scale at which Amazon operates (there is hardly any company in the world that operates at this scale).

Innovation, Think Big, and Deliver Results are contagious. Once you get in touch with great people, you can't avoid getting influenced. You get an opportunity to work with some of the world's brightest minds, and over the period of time, you start thinking and acting like one.

You develop a habit of deep thinking and data-driven decision-making.

Cons

Non-tech functions, at times, are process-heavy, which is changing rapidly. Amazon has significantly simplified the annual reviews process. The new process is not only simple but focuses more on strengths than areas of development, which is a real morale booster.

Advice to Management

Keep up the focus on innovation and customer obsession.

The rigor that the company shows in everything it does is important for both the success of the company and the development of employees. Anyone who works at Amazon for a couple of years is generally a completely transformed person.
