we pioneer
We're a company of pioneers. It's our job to make bold bets, and we get our energy from inventing on behalf of customers. Success is measured against the possible, not the probable. For today’s pioneers, that’s exactly why there’s no place on Earth they’d rather build than Amazon.
Earth's most customer-centric company
When Amazon.com launched in 1995, it was with the mission “to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavors to offer its customers the lowest possible prices.” This goal continues today, but Amazon’s customers are worldwide now, and have grown to include millions of Consumers, Sellers, Content Creators, and Developers & Enterprises. Each of these groups has different needs, and we always work to meet those needs, innovating new solutions to make things easier, faster, better, and more cost-effective.
GLAmazon
GLAmazon helps make Amazon a great place to work by identifying opportunities to educate and inform employees about LGBTQ issues and opportunities. The group mentors fellow employees (both LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ) by promoting diversity and visibility in recruiting and throughout Amazon. The group also makes Amazon more visible within the LGBTQ community-at-large by sponsoring several PRIDE Parades around the globe including Seattle, London, Vancouver B.C and Costa Rica. Locally, GLAmazon participates in the Seattle AIDS Walk, hosts cross-corporate social events, and partners with the Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA).
Amazon Women in Finance
The Women in Finance Initiative’s (WiFi) mission is to build a global forum for women in finance and their advocates. WiFi’s members partner to develop a welcoming and inclusive workplace culture through training, career development, and community events. We believe that such a forum offers support to the complex career and life needs of women at all levels and contributes to making Amazon the employer of choice for women in finance.
During 2015, our women's development programs expanded internationally. Over the course of the year our Customer Service organization hosted 21 conferences across the United States, Europe, India, China, Japan, and Costa Rica. These events provided leadership skill building opportunities, inspiration, and networking connections for over 400 Amazonians.
Black Employee Network
Amazon's Black Employee Network (BEN) provides a support structure for Black employees to champion diversity throughout the company. BEN's mission is to recruit, retain, and empower Black employees at Amazon to build a stronger company through a more diverse workforce. BEN connects employees and interns with mentors and provides career and personal development workshops throughout the year. BEN also hosts the annual Seattle Urban League Young Professionals Leadership Summit, supports the United Negro College Fund Portfolio Project, Gala and Walk for Education, engages with the local and regional chapters of the National Society of Black Engineers, leads recruiting trips to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and participates in Code.org's Hour of Code
Amazon Warriors
Amazon Warriors is made up of Amazonians who have served in their respective country's military forces, those who are still serving, and all Amazon employees who support them. The group's mission is to provide its members a professional network and a means to organize community outreach programs, to aid veterans during their transition into the Amazon workforce, and to be a resource for the Amazon Military Talent Partnership, which supports Amazon in recruiting top military talent.
