It seems like everyone at Amazon is going to Google right now. Is the culture there slowly becoming more like Amazon?

Slowly? Cloud is becoming amazon at 100 mph.

In all seriousness, there’s some people who leave Amazonian traits behind and some that stick to those ways. Since cloud is growing, is newer, and hiring tons new folks dont get to experience the old (and I mean 2019 old not 2010 old) google culture.

Plus not all amazon culture is bad. Customer obsession > perf obsession.

never worked in consulting. Went to a state school on an athletic scholarship and 2.5 gpa. Not for me.

A lot of people seem to come to Google Cloud to get away from the Amazon culture. Asked one recent transfer why he moved - "I didn't want to keep working with assholes".
