I can confirm that Amazon is a stressful place so far as tech jobs go, and I saw a lot of the abusive bullshit people are talking about in this thread. BUT I can also say that it rolled right off my back and had little effect on my friends who are still there after 5+ years The key is to have enough savings that you don't feel like you're trapped there, IMO. And to have some real world perspective. If you've ever experienced real deal poverty then you'll laugh off anything a toxic management chain can throw at you. I'd definitely recommend leaving Amazon ASAP in any case though, unless you're some sort of hardcore ladder-climbing business shark. I got super screwed by a lack of bonuses and raises despite being a "top performer", and it sounds like that's the norm rather than the exception.
