My Amazon interview was one of my worst experiences. It gave every indication that you were to be viewed as a cog in the machine, and I was treated as such during the interview process, which ended up being a gigantic waste of time from my point of view. And their company values/principles are hilarious. They make it sound like they're operating at 100% efficiency in a demi-god-like way. Meanwhile, most of their services and products are outright terrible, with a lot of product success driven by consumption addiction and monopolistic practices.
You can see here in the posted article the cognitive dissonace Amazon has. Some of Amazon's principles are "Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer", "Be Right, a Lot", "Frugality", and "Dive Deep". All of these are on display as being violated here.
