Pros
Overall, the training and message you get during onboarding is pretty inclusive. But that's where it ends.
Cons
The leaders at Amazon don't understand leadership principles at all. They consistently and wholeheartedly twist whatever narrative they need to fit whatever leadership principle they want. I was told disagree and commit means disagreeing until the crowd makes a decision and then committing to that decision. . . Beyond that there's no escalation for a bad manager or process because the people you're supposed to escalate to are invested in making sure that manager or process is painted in favorable light more so than the company overall benefits.
