I work as an SDE I at Amazon. This article is pretty ridiculous.
1) I don't see anything wrong with the question mark emails. Amazon places huge emphasis on customer service, and Jeff rightfully wants to know why is this particular customer unhappy.
2) No perks. Yeah, good free food would be nice. But I'm cooking my own launches most of the time anyway.
3) My salary (as an SDE I, college grad) is almost exactly the same a good friend of mine (also a college grad) got at Google in California (his was 10% more to cover the CA income tax).
4) Not sure about the stacking program, never heard about it. I'm certainly not stressed that I have to be better than my peers so that I don't get fired.
5,6) 3 out of 6 points in the article center around Bezos. Your chances of running into any of those 3 issues are next to nil. Amazon != Bezos.
