ha! worked at amazon on detail page, cart, checkout.

nothing unparalleled. lots of java and perl mason code. very poor and broken abstractions. missing unit test. missing integration test. poor developing experience. horrible culture of burnout and throwing people under bus, people cry at work. it was H1B train where you over work under threat of being fired and then need to leave country because visa system stupid.
