Keep away, they'll squeeze you until the last drop
The company pays good salaries, and for the lucky ones, they offer a decent environment to work. Amazon is a huge channel and will make your work reach incredible visibility around the world. But don't fool yourself; you won't get any extra bonus for your uncountable extra hours of hard work.
During the hiring process, how about asking your interviewer about the company turnover ratio? The HR works hard to hire good engineers, but the internal culture and zero training make everybody burn out in the first few months.
The managers have unreal expectations of all employees. They won't think twice before giving you a bad review because you didn't reach the ridiculous bar they set.
Get real. Employees need training and time to digest the culture. You're losing talent to Google and other companies because you're too frugal to buy a pair of glasses to see what is happening. How about using your own principles against yourself?
