You'd think a company with massive turnover would try to remove barriers to finding new talent, not create them. http://www.ibtimes.com/amazoncom-has-second-hi

  I'm curious and didn't see an answer to this question while reading that link (or the link to the original source) -- how does 'median tenure' distinguish between a company where people are leaving quickly, and a company that is aggressively hiring/growing? A bunch of brand new employees drags down median tenure without necessarily being a sign of massive turnover.

  Yes, but the purpose of this is to increase hiring throughput, by reducing the number of SWE hours spent interviewing the average candidate. People who don't want to put up with this bullshit drop out early, so they don't cost the company much time.
