Amazon isn't well known for their culture. I remember couple months ago where I heard and read awful things from employees and ex-employees that works/worked there.

Picture this: they'll give you a pager so they can page you at 3 AM in the morning to fix bugs. The development culture is more like patch-n-release without thinking the long-term design.

No wonder Steve Yegge bolted to Google (and then praise Google for having "Clean Code Base")
