Amazing culture, amazing people, and tremendous opportunity!
I have been at Amazon less than one year, but I can firmly say that the company invests so much in its people from day one. Everyone at the company is extremely friendly, intelligent, and on top of their game.
Contrary to other reports that Amazon exhibits a poor work-life balance, so far I have seen a sincere effort to maintain a good work-life balance. Amazonians truly do live and breathe the 14 leadership principles in their day-to-day decisions.
Finally, I would say Amazon is a place where you build a career, not hold a "job".
The Mac laptop that Solutions Architects get is too small, and my Windows laptop could be a bit more feature-rich while still being frugal. :)
Keep fostering a culture in which the leadership principles are extremely pronounced in day-to-day decisions and in everything that we do, from the smallest to the biggest. Also, keep hiring the best!
