Unfortunately, these have been the problems with Amazon for over a decade. It's what helped them scale, but leads to new engineers feeling powerless to innovate or try anything new. They live by their 14 leadership principles and sometimes use it to enforce behaviors they want from their employees. Hope you're off to a better job

Well put. There’s a reason turnover is so high at these FAANG companies, despite the perks. Amazon is probably the worst of the bunch.

You couldn't pay me $200M TC/year to work at AWS.
