Amazon Books Japan

Appealing aspects of working at Amazon include our significant impact on society, the rapid pace of change and growth, and being part of an international environment.

Moreover, Amazon’s diverse business ventures that span retail, e-books, and content streaming offer broad possibilities for career development.

Working at Amazon is incredibly exciting on a daily basis. There are constant opportunities for learning and growth, allowing me to approach my work with a strong sense of purpose. The work environment is highly innovative and diverse, welcoming ideas without being constrained by existing norms or traditional ways of doing things. We’re not bound by “this is how it’s always been done.” Instead, there’s an openness to fresh perspectives that drives continuous improvement.

As a global team, Amazon Books Japan interacts extensively with counterparts in markets like the US and Europe. Additionally, our internal team is diverse, with many members who don’t have Japanese as their first language. As a result, being mindful and respectful of each person’s unique cultural and professional background is core to how we approach our work. This has cultivated a very accepting and supportive atmosphere within the department.

There are many extremely talented (and peculiar) individuals at Amazon, and working with them is definitely inspiring.

Also, I like Amazon’s vision to keep delighting customers and improving our offerings; it forces me to keep learning and innovating.

Amazon is a great place to learn and develop your career. Even if you have minimal experience in a particular area, if you’re interested in stepping up to a new challenge, Amazon is willing to let you learn on the job. You’ll even be supported with training and mentoring, especially if you have a proven performance record. Opportunities to branch out and expand your skills are limitless.

The best part of working at Amazon is the people—by far. During my career I’ve met many great people along the way, but Amazon takes the lead in terms of access to smart, passionate, professional, like-minded individuals.
