Pros

Employee empowerment, culture of continuous improvement visible in every aspect of the company, ample opportunities to improve the existing systems and processes. Power is in the data.

Cons

One has to be extra careful in managing work - life balance. Getting used to the amazon way of doing things might be a little daunting for a fresh starter. Compensation is not the best at all levels.

Old hands in the business in surprisingly senior roles - limited external experience and decision making can be chaotic Frugality as business value - not much team atmosphere and environment Pace means career progression can be limiting - EU structure has key roles in Luxembourg
