So, no matter if you pull up a chair, use a standing desk, or join a video call using Alexa, everyone can find the best way to work for them. We’ve also created community-oriented workspaces without desks to make flexible work environments. Some employees can work from home, creating the work life harmony they need. How you work at Amazon is just as diverse as the people you’ll work with. To learn more about these groups and the events they host, visit our diversity page. We are also proud to support several affinity groups, like Glamazon (our LGBTQ group), Women in Engineering, and (for military members and their families), that highlight the diverse perspectives that thrive with us. With company events, volunteer opportunities, concerts, happy hours, and more, it’s easy to get to know fellow Amazonians. This is a community campus, and we have many opportunities for our employees to meet. No matter which building you work in, you will find everything you need to succeed. Some of our buildings even have things like desks made from doors (a practice that started with Jeff Bezos himself), whiteboards in the elevators and rooftop dog parks. Mostly all buildings have a dedicated IT team in it, along with IT vending machines for quick tech needs. Throughout our headquarters, there are mother’s rooms, prayer rooms, locker rooms, phone booths (for a bit of quiet space), roof decks with grills, game rooms, and more. Over 40 office buildings make up our Seattle headquarters, and each building represents a part of Amazon history. Many of our employees can live nearby, skip the commute altogether, and walk to work. We’re investing in dedicated bike lanes to provide safe, pollution free, easy access to our offices. Our employees are able to take advantage of existing communities and public transit infrastructure, with less dependence on cars. It is a fact that we could have saved money by instead building in the suburbs, but for us, it was important to stay in the city. In 2013, we added 420,000 square feet of new headquarters space in Seattle and broke ground on what will become four city blocks and several million square feet of new construction. With museums, great local food, shopping, and more just a walk – or bike ride – away, working at Amazon means the best Seattle has to offer is always right at your fingertips.
Our urban campus spans into downtown Seattle, and our employees love being in the heart of the city. We moved into South Lake Union more than ten years ago, and we’re more excited than ever to be a part of this vibrant landscape. As Amazon has grown over the years, it’s always been important to us to call the city of Seattle our home.
