I suspect an inverse survivorship bias in the public representation of the company by ex-employees. Those of us with positive recollections tend to say very little, and (in my case at least) that's due to respect for Amazon's culture.

Eh, I had a pretty good ride there myself. I believe every incident in that NY Times article happened.

If you were at Amazon for any length of time and didn't notice the existence of toxic teams and the random chance element of being hired into one of them, you weren't paying attention.
