Amazon

There is a lot of freedom, and the sense of ownership is really valuable.

Groups are small and usually pretty nimble.

Logic usually prevails rather than politics.

The customer focus feels nice, and the scale things operate is great.

There is always more to learn on both the technical and business fronts, and if you don't have a multi-year personal backlog, then you've got blinders on.

If you like a challenge, then it is a pretty nice place to work.

There are a reasonable number of "taxes." Things that need to get done are pushed top-down. While only a few per year, they can end up consuming a good chunk of time. This causes a lot of rework between the many small teams.

Encourage more learning and bottom-up leadership.

Maintain the risk-reward trade-off value, and try not to lose sight of what makes our environment fun and fosters innovation.

There is already a lot more we could get out of employees that we do not, simply because the energy has dissipated and no one is really bothering to stir things up.
