> Amazon had such absurd turn over that they are running out of people to interview. It's a wood chipper, designed to burn out young, insecure engineers while extracting two years of boilerplate from them.

I thought those news articles were about warehouse workers, not IT workers.

It's also true of their engineering - they have a terrible reputation which caused them to raise salaries a ton in the last 2 years just to try to get comparable engineers.

They easily pay 30% more for the same engineer just because of their culture/reputation.
