Maybe not like sweatshops, but I've met many tenths of people that left because of the constant pressure to deliver combined with the oncall duties. Once I witnessed a whole team disappearing in a short time.

We too, but phrased like this makes it sounds like Amazon is a relaxed and laid-back company. Far from it.
