In my experience, an important chunk of the experience depends on who your boss is, another chunk depends on the company itself.
I experienced both "toxic" and "fantastic" work environments at AWS, during my 6 years tenure. I'm not surprised other can find Amazon "toxic", but I know that there are good people there, and good teams, and good job opportunities.
Also, I used to pretty much work ~90% remote, back in 2008-2014. My boss(es) never had anything against that. The "remote work" policy is influenced by the company, but it also depends on your boss and team.
I think your assessment is way too polarized against working at Amazon. My 0.02.
