Can you confirm any truths or deny any lies?


My views don't represent that of my employer yada yada yada.

Anything in the NYTimes piece that wasn't a personal story was grounded in truth, but spun as bullshit. It was a hit piece. There are bad teams, but at a company of this size, there will always be bad teams, and I am sorry for the poor experiences that people seem to have had, but I would hardly call them widespread. The entire article has really become a bit of an internal joke. That is how ridiculous many people find their claims.


You could probably find enough dirt in any Fortune 500 company, style it up, and put out an article similar to the Amazon one.


Especially if you were being paid to do it.
