Working at Amazon
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.
It’s always “Day 1” at Amazon—we approach our work with the energy and spirit of a new company.
Amazon fosters a culture of ownership, where employees are empowered to develop, build, and own big ideas. Being a builder comes with an appetite for risk taking. Founder Jeff Bezos calls Amazon “the best place in the world to fail.” Employees take ownership of their careers here, and we believe people grow faster at Amazon than they would anywhere else.
