What's it like to work at Amazon? Depends on who you ask.
In a report published Sunday in the New York Times, writers Jodi Kantor and David Streitfeld outline a work environment that's hostile and grueling. According to the report, employees at the online retailer are expected to compete with one another, work nights and weekends, report on colleagues they feel are underperforming, and face probation if illness or family matters are perceived as affecting their performance.
One Amazon staffer was put on the company's "performance review plan" after giving birth to a stillborn child, according to the report.
