Amazon has a bad reputation as an employer. I've personally never considered applying nor have I ever answered an Amazon recruiter.

      Technically customers just moved their business to Amazon, presumably because the price and experience were preferable.

    There are multiple confirmed stories from former Amazon (and Tesla) employees about workplace issues. Please don't dismiss anything you don't like as a leftist reddit conspiracy.

  Amazon the gigantic e-commerce megacorp and AWS the cloud company are technically the same 'Amazon' but have pretty different work cultures. Being a dev on the bookstore and being a dev on EC2 are different experiences. I think bringing Jassy on as CEO of the whole thing is going to enable the AWS culture to bleed over into the Amazon side of the house, which is a good thing for everyone.

    Perhaps, but it takes years, if not decades, to completely change a company's culture like that. The e-commerce side is the (much) older sibling and I assume still the majority of the revenue.

      Agreed on all counts.

  I'm perfectly aware and I suffer the consequences every day. No matter how awesome I say my team is, that doesn't erase the bad experiences of others. I don't know what my options are other than seeking change from within or voting with my feet, and I have no intention to leave.
