Operating like a Startup
Operating like a Startup
Working at Amazon is everything I hoped it would be.
The leadership principles drive everything at Amazon, from the interview process to onboarding and to the job, with an emphasis on a continued Day 1 mentality, customer obsession, and constant innovation.
The teams at Amazon are kept small with an emphasis on autonomy, where the teams determine their roadmap, essentially operating like startups within the larger company.
The interview process is very challenging, though its intention to hire the best is demonstrated in each high-performing employee.
