>Amazon’s real innovation isn’t a cloud service company or a logistics business. The innovation is on how to squeeze every once of labor and value out of a human being, and how to do this legally, without damaging customers’ or public opinion of the company, at massive scale. I think this is bang on. Their hiring process for engineers every single time I've been contacted by them is an immediate (before you could possibly have a clue if you want the job or not) is a tech challenge. It's industrialized hiring that puts 100% of the burden immediately on the candidate at virtually no cost to amazon. This is a huge red flag and I halt the process with any employer that uses it.
