Having followed what Bezos did and pushed as company culture, I disagree completely.
I wouldn't want to work at Amazon (there are certainly better pay / stress jobs out there), but I believe the way their individual teams work is the key to success and what most large organisations get wrong.
I just think the teams should get more bonuses / equity tied in their team success in order for it to be fair for team members.
It's basically build-your-startup level of stress but you're working for Bezos.
Similarly the general strategy of reinvesting in Amazon and spinning off AWS was just pure genius.

There's a lot to learn from Bezos.
