I think Amazon would have a better rep if they didn't have a stack ranking system.

Every competitive has a stack ranking system whether they admit it or not.

They put lipstick on a pig but everyone's getting ranked and the lowest performers getting weeded out.

The whole "People get fired even if they're doing a good job just by being a low performer on a strong team" is an edge case that happens INCREDIBLY rarely but when it does gets all the attention.
