It's not just warehouse, it's engineering. Amazon as a company treats employees (outside of the executive suite) like dirt. IT's a retailer, more like Walmart than Microsoft, and so they have no respect for engineering. The only reason AWS happened was Vogels had enough power to isolate his people from the rest of Amazon (though I bet that team is suffering now too.) My boss was trained to be a prison guard and couldn't operate spreadsheets, after a re-org, his boss was, I kid you not, one of those DMV ladies who has no interest in doing anything but covering her butt. (I mean, literally worked at the DMV and then got a job at Amazon managing dozens of engineers.) They like to say things like "only hire A players" but their entire management is D players. It's hard to get a job as an engineer there but as an engineering manager all you need is a college degree in basket weaving and a demonstrated ability to kiss ass.
