Pluspunten
Many companies give lip service to the building of leaders but Amazon truly embraces it from day one. Having run my own company in the past, I know firsthand how difficult it is to create and build a culture. I was amazed that from day one, my manager and my team have taken a sincere personal interest in my professional development and the desire to help me achieve my career goals. There is equal emphasis on achieving short term and long term goals and everything we do is tied to the leadership principles that Amazon lives by from the top down.
Minpunten
The only downside to working at Amazon is simply the sheer size of the organization and the intense need for data privacy. Amazon is a place where you really need to leverage your ability to work across teams. This isn't really a negative, but it can be a daunting task. As an ecommerce company that puts the customer first in every decision that is made, data is very hard to access between teams. This can make account penetration more challenging than you would hope. While these are inconvenient, I appreciate sharpening new skills and as a customer of Amazon, I appreciate the data security.
