Amazon

Very smart people. Meritocracy. You can move your career very fast. Performance is far more important than degrees, experience, or time at the company. If you are smart and highly motivated, this company will accelerate your career.

There are a lot of very smart and highly motivated people here.

If you want to make okay money while just putting in empty hours, there is a company across the lake for that. If you come here, you'd better be prepared to fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run.

Consider single-occupancy offices for managers or more conference rooms. As fast as Amazon is expanding, I waste a lot of time trying to find an open room for 1:1s with my people every week.
