Pros

Focused goals, articulate people, compassionate about growth, open environment, open source resources, polite management.

Cons

Revenue-focused, IP-aggressive. Amazon is a wonderful company to work with. The growing pains of building a new corporation are present; mitigation can be slow, but does occur.

Advice to Management

Always be willing to accept change, stay agile, and follow the KISS principles. Above all, always listen and know that someone else is always going to be smarter. Otherwise, learning ceases, and stagnation sets in.
