Compensation, having Amazon on your resume.
Extreme micromanagement, return to office, excessive documentation/writing culture to the point where the content of the document matters less than the style and formatting.
Make your L7 engineers do actual work and contribute. Understand what is actually important to write and review. Admit that 90% of the documents created will never be looked at again.
Don't spend hours/days writing/reviewing operational emails in hopes that you'll get some recognition from upper management.
