Who has a better culture, Google or Amazon?
Before you say Google, let me clarify: I was reading about the history of Toyota and was impressed by how many things they invented in terms of culture and organization that are nowadays adopted even in our software industry. Which company do you think will have a similar impact on future companies/industries? I think Google has created the shift to treat employees well giving them food, nice offices, and allow a more 'fun' culture with no dress code etc. At the same time, I keep hearing startup/unicorn founders talk almost in terms of Amazon's LP, so I imagine Amazon is also having a big impact. EDIT: a big seller of Amazon's culture is also that is proving to work better in terms of business and innovation metrics (looking at money they have been making, stock surge, new product launces etc compared to G). I know these are two different questions ('you like' vs 'more impact'). To keep it simple, let's try to compound them ('better' = combine the above two, choose the 'weights' yourself).
Lmao
You ever work for Amazon?
OP joined Amazon as a manager.
Literally my skip
More engineers go through Amazon than Google. That's why you'd hear more about the Amazon impact.
Founders use the LPs precisely because they promote a toxic culture used to extract the maximum value from employees. If you're a founder or investor, you probably prefer Amazon's culture. If you're an employee, Google. inb4 Ama-holes in the replies telling me that it depends on team/org
Ownership in workload not in profits or revenue 😂. Insist on highest standards in work quality not compensation or benefits.
Disagree and have backbone with other engineers but not your boss :)

Ridiculous.

Also, AWS is good at branding their commodity services as innovation, but things like Go, TensorFlow, Angular are just as vital and ubiquitous if not more.
That's a valid point. I wonder how those things will play out business wise long term for Google.
