> It has a brutal work culture, and if you can survive it long enough After my first few years of experience, I specifically started filtering out companies which have people from Amazon in a leadership role. Their work culture is poison, and I'd rather not join than see myself become a zombie for the next couple of years. This has helped me stay sane in my career, but there still are some early scars that remain. I explicitly do not believe that you can "make it anywhere" if you survive some brutal culture, and that surviving a few years in that place will bless you with the ability to "live life at another company". Why ruin my health and sanity when I can directly join that other company? This glorification of bad environments needs to stop.
