> terrible at technology and leadership
While I'm not suggesting that he's not successful in many ways, he's also been (and still is) quite bad at these two things.
On the technology front, the terribleness that immediately comes to mind are the Fire Phone, Prime Instant Video's UI, Amazon's UI in general, their godawful search, and so on.
On the leadership front... well... there are all these accusations of an awful workplace culture stemming from the top man.
- sokoloff 11y agoIt appears self-evident that he's at least an adequate technology leader. He's leading a company that is the undisputed (current) leader in cloud computing and running an extremely fast growing and profitable technology business there. IMO, that put his well into the top 0.1% of technology leaders, but even if you don't agree with that, if results mean anything, I think you can agree that he's not terrible at it. The Amazon UI might not be to your taste or beautiful, but there's no question that it's efficient at enabling customers to find and buy their retail items at a rapid clip. IMO, Prime Pantry's search is pretty decent; the selection over which they're searching is poor, but the search itself seems decent.
