Annual list recognizes best companies at
attracting and retaining top talent
NASDAQ: AMZN—LinkedIn today announced that Amazon ranked #2 on
its U.S. Top Companies list, which recognizes companies that
attract and retain top talent. LinkedIn’s second annual Top
Companies list ranks companies based on data from LinkedIn’s 500+
million members, including current and prospective Amazon
employees. See LinkedIn’s full announcement and methodology
here.
“I believe the biggest reason that the best talent in the world
wants to work and stay at Amazon is our unique culture of
innovation and customer obsession,” said Beth Galetti, SVP of Human
Resources at Amazon. “Thank you to our hundreds of thousands of
employees who bring this culture to life and make sure every day at
Amazon is Day 1.”
In the past year alone, Amazon has committed to creating more
than 100,000 new, full-time, full-benefit jobs in the U.S., hiring
25,000 veterans and military spouses, and training 10,000
active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses in cloud
computing. Meet a few of the hundreds of thousands of employees who
spend their days figuring out ways to make Amazon customers' lives
easier.
Amazon provides employees with highly-competitive pay,
health insurance, disability insurance, retirement savings plans
and company stock. The company also offers up to 20 weeks of paid
leave and innovative benefits such as Leave Share and Ramp Back,
which give new parents flexibility with their growing families.
Leave Share lets employees share their Amazon paid leave
with their spouse or domestic partner if their spouse’s employer
doesn’t offer paid leave. Ramp Back gives new moms additional
control over the pace at which they return to work. Just as with
Amazon’s health care plan, these benefits are egalitarian – they’re
the same for fulfillment center and customer service employees as
they are for Amazon’s most senior executives.
