Do you think that companies like Amazon will be able to change their work culture for the long term?

I think "will the leadership ever want to try?" is the better question. Doesn't particularly matter what low level employees think so long as execs believe there's net benefit in policies like stack ranking.

What type of cultural change are you looking for? Amazon culture is intentionally deeply ingrained, but I get the sense that you are referring to perceived negative aspects of the work culture.

A commenter mentioned stack ranking, which is common in many companies, but explicitly is not done in Amazon. Regardless, it can be hard to stand out for many employees, and some will have frustrations similar to the results of stack rank situations.

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
