Amazon

• Domain and technology diversity.
• Autonomous internal organizations lead to experiences of working at different companies.
• Accessible company-wide educational resources for self-learning.
• Dog-friendly workplace.

Autonomous internal organizations could lead to a very poor experience, contradictory to overall company management goals (the leadership principles).

Aggressive stack ranking comes with its own host of problems related to employee dissatisfaction, lack of team productivity, and lack of trust among peers.

There are not enough senior individual contributors in technical roles for proper mentorship, which leads to pushing advice that is counter to industry standards and detrimental to career growth outside of Amazon.

Leadership principles can be over-indexed (like Delivering Results and Bias for Action) to the detriment of the product and customers.

• Eliminate or at least change the stack ranking system so that people can comfortably collaborate effectively instead of sabotaging each other's work.

• Provide incentives to management, especially middle managers, to balance the leadership principles when it comes to performance evaluations, specifically principles that are focused on the long-term benefits to the product, customers, and the company.
