Business Outlook
Pros
Focus on Customer brings out the best innovation. Fast paced for the size of the company , less processes f to bother about. New ideas and experiments.
Cons
As the company grew, the talent level started dwindling. The average of talent is abysmally low for its reputation. In a rush to hire , lots of IC's were promoted to middle management without any gauging their managements skills. Lot of managers were hired who are not accustomed with the 14 leadership principles of the company which are the pillars of success of amazon. There is no attempt to run a orientation for these managers to align themselves with the leadership principles. Candid feedbacks results in backlash instead of verifying the feedback.
