About Company:
The four guiding principles of Amazon are: obsessing on the customer rather than the competition,
being passionate about invention, being dedicated to operational excellence, and having a long-
term perspective. Amazon aspires to be the planet's most customer-focused business, best
employer, and safest workplace. Some of the innovations pioneered by Amazon include customer
reviews, 1-Click shopping, personalised recommendations, Prime, Fulfilment by Amazon, AWS,
Kindle Direct Publishing, Kindle, Career Choice, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo, Alexa, Just Walk
Out technology, Amazon Studios, and The Climate Pledge.

Although their business has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant: customers
want more affordable prices, better options, and practical services. Amazon customers can now
find what they're looking for both online and offline. We are constantly coming up with new
methods to please our clients, from bringing fresh food right to their doorstep to producing and
distributing movies, music, and more.

Benefits and Rewards:

Amazon provides a wide range of fantastic benefits to help employees and qualifying family
members, including domestic partners and their children, in addition to an average beginning
compensation of $19 per hour, which is more than double the federal minimum wage. These all-
inclusive benefits, which start on the first day of employment, cover health insurance, paid
parental leave, means to save money for the future, free college tuition, and other tools to
promote wellbeing.

Financial Assistance- Along with fair compensation, Amazon offers its employees the chance to
hold Amazon shares, take part in 401(k) plans with corporate matching contributions, and sign up
for compensated life and accident insurance. Along with paid short-term and long-term disability
benefits, there are additional services for estate preparation and financial advice accessible.

Healthcare Benefits- Regardless of level, tenure, or position, Amazon provides regular full-time

employees with medical, dental, and vision coverage. For Amazon employees, there is a hybrid
virtual and physical health care package called Amazon Care. Employees are given plenty of paid
time off and paid holidays, in addition to other types of leave and medical accommodations that
can be made for issues with their mental and physical health.

Caring for Families- Employees have a wide range of options from which to choose the perks that
are most advantageous to them personally. Amazon takes care of children and the elderly. A
network of more than 2 million caregivers, including nannies, babysitters, and special needs
caregivers, is available to Amazon employees for free. Amazon offers several free tools for parents
of kids with autism, ADHD, and developmental difficulties, and employees get discounts at some
day-care facilities.

Parental Leave- Amazon offers its workers support at every step of their lives. They recognise the
expansion of their employees' families by providing a range of benefits. They grant expectant
mothers up to 20 weeks of paid leave, and we grant adoptive parents six weeks. Through
their Leave Share programme, employees can grant their spouse or partner, who is not entitled to
parental leave from their workplace, six weeks of paid parental leave.
