It's definitely possible that you were, as you put it, "ignorant of what was going on around you". I think you were at Prime Video at a time when it was really taking off, 2012-2016 was definitely a strong time for Prime Video, especially with the Twitch acquisition.
However, I was part of the Retail org between 2018-2020. I strongly back the PIP horror stories here. I don't want to share more details, because I'm still not brave enough to publicly bash an employer on the net. But I want to emphasize what I think others have also mentioned here, which is that, due to Amazon's size, there was definitely no one "Amazon culture" to speak of. The variance between orgs (and sometimes, between teams in the same org) was bafflingly huge.
