What do we mean when we say amazon has bad wlb? 50 hours? 60? 70?

like

Most people don’t work more than 50

I know a lot of people who work there in corporate and they are not known to have good WLB no. People who are there work hard and put in lots of hours and they aren’t shy on this expectation when recruiting. Guess it depends what you’re doing now but I imagine would be comparable

It isn't just about hours, it is their culture too. Google "nytimes Amazon culture". 50 hours at Amazon sounds worse than 55-60 hours at some other places.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
