Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace
The New York Times, 2015
What's inside?
Amazon offers its employees big opportunities and rewards, but are the long hours and unforgiving workplace culture worth it?
Recommendation
In this in-depth exposé of Amazon, journalists Jodi Kantor and David Streitfeld interview more than 100 current and former Amazon employees from all levels of the business, including some whom the company had banned from contributing. The result is a revealing insight into what it’s like to work in Amazon’s highly demanding corporate environment, where tough talk and long hours trump goodwill and work-life balance. getAbstract recommends the authors’ findings to anyone with an interest in management theory, organizational culture or workers’ rights.
