The secret sauce to Amazon's success is an obsessive compulsive focus on money.

  This was not my experience, reflecting on about 10 years of service in AWS network engineering (both as an engineer and manager). I’m at Oracle now, which, by contrast, is orders of magnitude more focused on revenue/spend.

    I left Amazon in 2012, so things may have changed since then. But in my days I was quite impressed that the goals executives were bonused on did not have the word revenue or profit. The goals were about adoption and customer satisfaction.

      And the amazon today is literally unrecognizable to the amazon of 2012

    I don’t think moving from Amazon to Oracle does you any favours in that department. Maybe the only switch you could make for a stronger money focus?

  In my experience, Amazon genuinely is focused on the customer.
