As a current AWS employee, I can say I'm proud to be working for AWS (at least my organization) but incredibly embarrassed to be working for Amazon.
I had written a much more scathing comment about the Amazon side of the business but I'm not sure what is allowed under hacker news's community guidelines.

You can spend your entire career doing useful, impactful work that helps millions of people and all it takes is one out of touch bozo in management to pull some embarrassing stunt like this to ruin all the trust you've built with disadvantaged communities. Of course this is true for all large companies, but nobody fights fire with astroturfing quite like big tech. I wish these people would get it together so we wouldn't have to be ashamed of working for them.
