There's an exceptional talent pool at Amazon and the bruising culture to grow big and fast fosters a strong culture of intellectual excellence.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The stock RSUs. It's scary at first to eventually have 40% of your total comp be RSU dependent, but given its track record it is undoubtedly the best investment vehicle of the last 10 years
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Building and maintaining trust with employees. Tenured hires quickly find roles at competing companies due to lack of upwards mobility, and burnout culture at Amazon. Show associates the long term value of their contributions, don't be short sighted to only focus on the next 3 month outlook.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Director level leadership often only focus on this year's outlook and therefore make brash decisions based on short term gains. Employees frequently burnout from the 180 degree changes in direction each month. While some churn is expected, reacting brashly to each change in the wind is inefficient
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Consistency is what's needed. Some teams have extremely high bars while other teams have extremely low bars. Forcing a volunteer group of "bar raisers" to police this puts the onus on goodwill and altruism and ineffectively hires good talent across the company. Needs better structure and strategy
