Amazon, Sunnyvale

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We strive to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, Earth’s best employe t customer-centric company, Earth’s best employer, and Earth’s safest place to work. Amazon’s “Day 1” mentality is our approach to doing everything with the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of a new organization on its first day. Working to earn and keep our customers’ trust is the single biggest driver of Amazon’s Day 1 approach. Amazon’s decision-making process asks employees to consider whether an action is a one-way door—consequential and nearly irreversible—or a two-way door, easy to change course and go back. Discover more about who we are through our Leadership Principles. Amazon’s workplace is made up of a talented, global team of individuals who work hard every day to create a great experience for customers, employees, partners, and the communities where we serve. We have hired more U.S. jobs in the last decade than any other company, with an average hourly base pay of $22 across our fulfillment and transportation network and pharmacy, and the majority of our comprehensive benefits begin on day one of employment. We have invested over $1.2 billion on free skills training to help employees further their careers. In 2024, Amazon ranked third on Fortune Magazine’s Most Admired Companies list marking Amazon’s eighth consecutive year in the top three, and more than a decade the top 10. LinkedIn has also named Amazon a top U.S. company where people want to work for the seventh year in a row. Although our business has evolved over the years, one constant is customers’ desire for lower prices, better selection, and convenient services. Today, Amazon shoppers can find what they’re looking for online and in person. From delivering fresh produce to their doorstep to creating and distributing movies, music, and more, we are always finding new ways to delight our customers. Teams around the world invent on behalf of our customers every day to meet their desire for lower prices, better selection, and convenient services. One way we guarantee a wide selection of products is through the 1.7 million small and medium businesses around the world selling on Amazon.com. We’re committed to using our scale and abilities to take on some of society’s most pressing challenges, and improve the communities where we live and work all around the world. We do this through investing in local communities and employees, building a more sustainable company for our planet, customers, and employees, and supporting small- and medium-sized businesses selling in our stores. We co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019 and committed to reaching net-zero carbon by 2040--we now have more than 535+ companies across 60 industries and 45 countries who have joined us in this goal, and are working together to drive climate solutions at scale. ...view more
