Doubt it, that nytimes article about their work culture spread everywhere but not much has changed.

People keep working there, so why would they change?

Edit: s/should/would/

Exactly. And other firms will adapt that working style. Why shouldn't they? Amazon gets away with it.
Maybe they would be more effective if they changed.
Actually a lot has changed since the NYT article (I don't know whether any of it is related to the article):

1. Much better parental leave

2. Easier to transfer internally (no longer need to wait 6 months, transfer can't be blocked by the current manager)

3. At least in my org, more transparent promotion process.
