About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    Shoutout to Gequan, who's not just delivering packages but also delivering heartwarming moments! ❄️ 📦 We want to take a moment to recognize and applaud Gequan, an Amazon DSP driver, who stopped to shovel a customer, Don's, wheelchair ramp after delivering a package. Don said that in the past, it would take him hours, sometimes days, to clear his ramp himself. But, the surprise delivery of Gequan's simple act of service restored Don’s hope in humanity - ours too! 💙 🧡

    One of our incredible employees, Max Flynn, celebrated his fourth Amazon Peak season this year by tackling a different kind of peak: successfully summiting Mt Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. ⛰ We’re amazed! Max packed his Amazon rain jacket, Amazon beanie, Amazon water bottle, and Amazon hiking poles and completed the 37-mile trek in six days. He even ran into a former Amazonian during the climb. Max is a U.S. Army veteran who joined us in 2020 at a fulfillment center in Iowa. Two years in, he earned a promotion and relocated to a sort center in the UK, where he currently leads over 100 team members. We love seeing our employees on great adventures like this outside of work, and are so proud of Max for taking on this huge challenge. 🙌 Tag someone below in the comments that inspires you.

    Did you know that our HQ2 office in Arlington boasts artwork from more than 25 artists? 🎨 The building’s design blends Amazon’s evolution and elements that pay homage to the local roots of the region, weaving together influences from natural resources like the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay, and Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, while also highlighting the juxtaposition of an urban center of activity like Washington, D.C. HQ2 features art honoring the National Capital Region, created by local artists and studios from around the world. The 18 pieces from more than 25 artists span a range of genres, styles, and cultural influence. From mathematics-inspired spatial depictions of the Dupont Circle chess scene ♟️ and abstract depictions of the Potomac River fauna 🛶, to celebrating the beloved national cherry blossoms 🌸, these meaningful works of art further intertwine Amazon and the community. Learn more about each piece and what inspired the artists, and let us know your favorite in the comments! ➡️ https://amzn.to/48n2KP5

    We believe in empowering our employees so that they can advance in their careers and providing them with access to skills training and education, including our prepaid college tuition through Career Choice. Meet Haileigh Johnson, an employee of ours that attended Arizona State University and was able to graduate early with no student loan debt, thanks to pre-paid tuition from Career Choice. Not having to worry about her tuition was a huge relief for Haileigh, as she was able to focus on her own career growth and development from a seasonal tier one associate to an Area Manager. Through the program, she also received reimbursement on her text books and extra fees! “Getting my degree through Amazon’s Career Choice Program opened my eyes to how strong I am and all that I can achieve, both at Amazon and beyond. I enjoy my position as an Area Manager. I get to know my associates and I get to help play a role in their development.” Way to go Haileigh! We love to see our employees grow and succeed. 💪 👏 🌱

    We are saddened to see the devastation caused by the earthquakes in #Japan 🇯🇵. Our Disaster Relief team is in touch with community partners, and we have activated our Japanese Disaster Relief Hubs ⛑️. Our teams have packed over 30k relief items, including blankets, water, food, diapers, and baby formula, that reached affected areas today. 🙏 *These photos were taken in 2023, when we launched the Japan Disaster Relief Hub.
