Pros

A forge for your professional skills. Exceptional people.

Cons

By arbitrarily forcing return-to-office without providing data to support it and despite clear evidence that it is the wrong decision for our employees, Amazon has failed its role as earth’s best employer. I believe this decision will be detrimental to our business and is antithetical to how we make decisions at Amazon.

Pros

The bar is high so expect to feel overwhelmed at times. Amazing colleagues who value honesty and hard work. You can really make a difference if you put the effort and research in.

Cons

There is some organisational bloat and a little too much back slapping at times. Frugality isn't the leadership principle that gets most of the spotlight. Insist on the highest standards is way ahead.
