Corporate Culture

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is transforming the company into the “world’s largest startup” by flattening the organizational structure and cutting costs through layoffs, impacting multiple divisions. This drive, affecting over 27,000 jobs since late 2022, aims to increase efficiency and agility. While facing challenges in cloud computing competition, employee morale, and AI integration, Amazon is investing heavily in AI and new growth areas. Employees express concerns about increased workloads and the impact of AI on job security.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is aggressively combating internal bureaucracy to revitalize the company’s innovative spirit. Initiatives include mandating return-to-office, increasing worker-to-manager ratios, and establishing a “no bureaucracy” email for reporting cumbersome processes, resulting in modification of 455 processes. Jassy aims to operate Amazon as the “world’s largest startup,” fostering innovation and quick decision-making. This streamlining complements strategic investments in areas like AI amidst cost-cutting measures and workforce reductions implemented since Jassy took over in 2021.
