Also, does Amazon fire people pretty soon because of relatively poor performance?

I have also heard of such stories and do not have a first hand experience. But a colleague of mine had joined Amazon's Hyd office about a year back. He promptly joined us back after a year there, presumably because of the culture there.

Of course there are plenty of followup articles from Amazon C level / HR folks in fortune etc that disagree with the article. And I do know people who have been at Amazon for several years.

So I suppose this is one of those places that isn't very tolerant of failure in a pressure cooker type atmosphere, but does reward achievers, substantially.

Thanks, guys.
I am trying to collect as much information as possible and I am getting varying feedback..it seems some people do enjoy the work pressure and thrive whereas some find it too hot to handle and quit. But, everyone agrees that it is a pressure cooker environment.

One problem I foresee if you join Amazon and then decide to quit after a year or so - which companies will pay you that much? I don't think there are many. I am not sure where you work and may be your company is one of the few who can pay similar or more

From what I gather is that all these Top tier companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple have a very bad high pressure work culture.

Well let us put it this way, at least in Apple, you generally wind up under managers who know more than you do, and are not afraid to work just as hard as you do. Pressure cooker or not, your manager has your back, and he is in the exact same cooker as you are.

I haven't worked in the other companies that you mention so no further comment.

Ha ha! No, I don't work for a company that pays like Amazon does. But I guess a bruised ego and less pay (than Amazon, but might be more than what he/she was earning previously here) must be part of the package .

I do understand; nothing is worse than a bruised ego. Better to keep ego in check
