Amazon

AWS and Amazon Digital are great places to work. Lots of new product developments are happening there. AWS Database services is especially cutting-edge work.

Customer obsession. Products and technology are built not just because it's possible, but also because it is useful to the customer. Most companies just do things to improve ads, which I don't think improves the life of the customer.

Salaries of top performers are at-par or better than what the industry offers.

Excellent operational focus.

Salaries for average performers are below what others in the industry offer.

There is less guidance in climbing the career ladder.

Some parts of the company have many legacy systems, with a heavy focus on operations and little on new product development.

New product development is fast-paced. It's not a place for those wanting a good work-life balance and lots of perks (e.g., free lunch) to boast about.

Be more structured in growing people.
