Amazon’s Website and LinkedIn:
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. The company is driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. It embraces new ways of doing things, makes decisions quickly, and is not afraid to fail. Amazon has the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Amazonians work together to research and develop new technologies—from Amazon Web Services to Alexa—on behalf of their customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Amazon’s mission is to be Earth’s most customer-centric company. Its actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. It’s also common to hear the phrase “Day 1” at Amazon. What does that mean? It reflects the company’s enduring approach—just as it was on Amazon’s very first day: to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting customers.
