Amazon isn't the worst place to work, certainly, and some parts of it are alright, but it has some enormous, deep seated institutional problems with the way it treats its workers (blue collar and white collar). Fundamentally the problem is that Amazon treats workers like machinery, and even when they aren't being "overworked" in a nominal sense of hours per week they are still often being overburdened in terms of stress and workload. I've had many friends and friendly-acquaintances who have worked for amazon in one capacity or another and nearly universally (with one exception) the story is that it's a decidedly sub-par experience, and many of them leave of their own volition after only 1 or 2 years. For myself I left a significant amount of bonuses and stock grants, let alone salary, on the table to only work 1 year there. There are some things amazon does well, even exceptionally well, but maintaining a healthy work environment is not one of them.
