I've never worked at Google or Apple, but I work in AWS. I see people switching teams, across different organizations within AWS and the retail business. When I first started, you had to stay on your team for 1 year before you could transfer, now there is no such restriction.

It can be incredibly difficult working with other teams, but hat's not unique to Amazon.

Mostly just that in general it's a very stressful place to work regardless of being an engineer or other role there.
