Amazon is often derided for its apparent image of being a not so good employer. Yet there are number of things that can be gleaned if one analyzes the workplace culture existent at the Seattle based e-commerce giant.

The workplace culture must be aligned among all the employees at the firm and not just set from the very top as part of corporate strategy. Work-life balance often goes for a toss in customer-centric firms such as Amazon but there are ways to solve the same such as time flexibility and work autonomy.
