I don't believe it applies to Amazon as a whole. I will say big tech companies are big, and there are small teams there that aren't so bad. I have a friend who works for IMDB who is in heaven. So to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe his individual team isn't that bad. That doesn't change the fact that the majority of the company treats employees like they are disposable. They know they have a high burnout rate, they just don't care. I have one friend who likes it there. I've met maybe 15 or so who hated it, and one of my friends had his career almost ruined.
