Pros

Freedom to take your ideas from inception to execution. Not confined by roles or titles. A very bottom-up culture with decisions driven from recommendations collected from team members. Ever dreamt of running your own business without worrying about funding yourself? Amazon can offer you that kind of freedom if you manage to convince others with your ideas. You are surrounded by really smart and really nice (most) people that you can learn from.

Cons

Not for someone who can't go beyond their role definition. It's a do-it-yourself culture that can be frustrating in the beginning.

Advice to Management

More investment in diversity recruiting and inclusion programs.
