Everything is driven through the lenses of the Leadership Principles, so it's very easy to know how to succeed and grow here.

Above industry average compensation.
No-one will manage your career or workload for you, and Amazon will take everything you want to give it. So if you're overworked, it's your job to not let that happen. If you're not good at pushing back, don't apply.
Look at compensation target strategy. You will lose a lot of good people after the initial offer package expires if there's no good follow-up to ensure the compensation target after that time is fair.
