Pros

Most companies have some leadership principles. Amazon has its own version too. However, unlike many companies, I see it being valued and put to work in every aspect of the business. This is a company where the following are valued (in my opinion): * thinking it through before jumping in (it's okay to say 'I'll get back to you with the data'), * pace of delivering results in the face of uncertainty (a.k.a. a good mix of resourcefulness and hustle), * seeking guidance from mentors and getting feedback from peers and experts (having an ego can be detrimental) * thinking big (a.k.a. scaling up, be it a service, or number of customers) * having a data-backed opinion (providing recommendations and improving processes/technologies are encouraged)

Cons

It's not a company for everyone. A quote from Jeff Bezos summarizes it beautifully: "You can work long, hard, or smart, but at Amazon.com you can’t choose two out of three."
