Is Amazon Design any different? Or is it PIP culture?

Hey All 👋
I have a recruiter leveling me up to IC6 with two possible roles and atm I have a FB IC5 offer.
Though close in range the work that’s lined up for Amazon is pretty fun and interesting work (retail environment).
Now I know what you’re thinking, Amazon = pips and bananas. Amongst other things (keep it civil).
But I’m a designer and our environment is sometimes a much more relaxed environment and drastically different from SWE culture.
If you’re a designer at Amazon can you speak to the culture in design teams? Is it still highly political and PIP city culture? Is it toxic like all of the stories we hear?
If you can lend a few words to the reality in design at Amazon please help me out!

As for being a PIP culture, the only people I've seen put on PIP or let go (design and other job families) were bad at their job and the PIP was warranted.
What type of designer are you? And how many years experience? That TC looks low for an L6 UX designer.
