There was a big thing about it a couple years ago https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-...
Anecdotally all the ex-Amazon folks I know have horror stories of their own... Having said that as a customer I LOVE Amazon, I have de-Googled my life as much as possible, but Amazon is addiction and my (not so) secret shame...

All my Amazon friends aside from two teams hate it there: Prime Video, and Alexa/ Kindle software.
Fun fact - Brian Valentine, a well revered engineering director in Windows up until ~2010 went over to Amazon and basically rebuilt the exact same Windows software team there - employees, structure, and all. The same team that gave you Vista gave you Alexa and basically every other Kindle product (that's not meant to be a knock against vista or that team)
