I found Amazon's culture - in particular the relentless obsession with solving actual customer needs - to be a perfect fit for my own engineering training from day one. I was not "molded" to fit it. As I see it, as an engineer I have expertise my customer can't truly know or measure. They really have to trust me. I earn that trust by taking on their problem as if it were my own. That's how I've worked my entire career, and that's what I love about the parts of Amazon I have actually observed.

- jordigh 5y agoThis reads like a marketer wrote it. "A perfect fit for my own engineering training". It's vague and feel-goody and adulation for the company. What parts of Amazon did you not like?

- lotsofpulp 5y agoIt is interesting to me that the tens of thousands of people that work at Amazon with their obsession of solving customer needs are not worried about solving the problem of customers not being able to trust where the goods are being sourced from. Leaving aside the efficiencies of commingling inventory, even the simple filter option to only show sold and shipped by Amazon.com search results was deemed not to be a customer need. In fact, it was removed. Quite a puzzling “culture” of solving customer’s needs.
