I've known a few Amazonians and their stores more or less mirror the bad stuff I've heard (they all worked in the retail part as SDEs, not AWS). Some of the details about software processes and team build-up/dissolving make me wonder how the site even stays on-line.
I also interviewed once with them for a TPM position and had a fairly weird discussion with the recruiter about compensation and had to field some pretty random interview questions. Nothing was particularly terrible about my experience, but it made me wonder if I wanted to move across the country for what looked like a very non-amazing job.

Their inventory system is totally screwed up, worst I ever seen. I can't understand how they can run their company the way they do.

"I sent in 14. 14 were received, 1 was lost and 1 was found. How many should have? 14 How many does Amazon say I should have? 11. How many units do I actually have? 9."
