Our Strategic Approach to Culture
At AWS, our culture is the foundation of everything we create. It is built on ownership, innovation, and a deep commitment to doing what is right for our customers. Every team member is encouraged to think independently, take initiative, and bring new ideas to the table. We believe that great work comes from people who feel empowered to experiment, learn, and grow, which is why AWS supports an environment where both success and failure are seen as important parts of the learning journey.
Customer obsession is at the heart of our mindset. Every decision begins with understanding what customers need today—and what they may need tomorrow. This focus drives our long-term thinking, ensuring that we innovate not for short-term gains but to build solutions that create lasting value. Innovation thrives here because our people and teams are trusted to move fast, make decisions, and take responsible risks that push technology forward.
Inclusivity and diversity are also essential to our culture. We value different perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas, knowing that real innovation happens when a wide range of voices come together. AWS encourages a workplace where everyone feels respected, welcomed, and able to express their individuality. This inclusive environment strengthens collaboration, creativity, and the sense of belonging across teams.
Above all, AWS is a culture of continuous learning. With constant exposure to new technologies, collaborative work environments, and opportunities for professional development, employees are encouraged to expand their skills every day. Change is embraced here, not resisted. We adapt quickly, think boldly, and stay focused on delivering meaningful results that impact people around the world.
