At Prime Video, we mirror our customers. We believe in building teams and products that reflect and offer an inclusive environment for all of our customers, current and future. We celebrate diverse perspectives, and we create environments where all team members feel valued, trusted, connected, and informed.

Our teams build inclusive culture through biweekly team-building events and by working together to define processes and schedules that value work-life balance. And finally, our company leaders work actively to honor Amazon’s public commitment to fostering diversity and being Earth’s Best Employer.
