I think the characteristics you mention to be mostly meaningless to be honest.
To think Amazon doesn't have internal politics doesn't sound too believable.
I think Amazon had a very good business strategy and that has foremost been expansion at any cost, extending reach even at a loss by having multiple revenue streams. They leveraged the tendency for convenience in a fast world where everyone works hard, not just at Amazon. Solid business strategy, but the factors about incentives sound exotic to me.
> Not just dismiss them as some relentless and heartless evil empire.
This sentence could be straight from the middle of the last century and probably the cradle of literature. I am sure you will find many comparable quotes.
<Some "relentless and heartless" decisions need to be made, John>.
