Co-workers were a mixed bag - some who were genuinely interested in working collaboratively and delivering value for our customers.

Others who were abrasive personalities or played games.

The company doubled in size since the IPO and a change in top level leadership (CTO on down) brought all the negatives of the Amazon culture (abrasiveness, negativity, pressure, unrealistic expectations, unhealthy internal competition, insensitive management, criticism over constructive feedback, no work/life balance).

You should get rid of the CTO and that Amazon culture, because it is not what made you successful.
