My impression of Amazon was that they really are customer obsessed. They did say I was too technical, but what I think they really meant is that they were looking for someone with more business/customer-facing experience and a bit of tech... it was an AWS Solutions Architect position. What they offered instead was a very compelling purely technical position, but I have this deep belief that technology is a set of tools that solves customer problems. I didn't feel comfortable accepting a position in which I could not directly hear from a customer.
