About Amazon
Amazon is the largest Internet-based retailer in the world by total sales and employs more than 340,000 people. Amazon offers employees the chance to work with great people on exciting projects - with many opportunities for further development. In addition, they offer as a company a full range of benefits for employees and their eligible dependents including healthcare and 401k.
When Amazon.com launched in 1995, it was with the mission “to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavors to offer its customers the lowest possible prices.” This goal continues today, but Amazon’s customers are worldwide now, and have grown to include millions of Consumers, Sellers, Content Creators, and Developers & Enterprises. Each of these groups has different needs, and Amazon always works to meet those needs, innovating new solutions to make things easier, faster, better, and more cost-effective.
Health Care
For health care Amazon offers a choice of four medical plans as well as prescription drug benefits.
Finance and Retirement
For occupational retirement provision there is the possibility of a 401(k) savings plan with a company match. Additionally, Amazon offers a company-paid life and accident coverage as well as some optional additional dependent coverage. Amazon employees receive a company-paid short- and long-term disability plan. There is also a health-care and dependent-care flexible spending account.
