I'm generally skeptical of Amazon, but it does have a new CEO who came from AWS, as opposed to.. say, the warehouse operation side of the business.

Maybe, just maybe, the new CEO will care about higher principles just a little bit more than Jeff did.

Just like any non-founding CEO, this guy is on the ropes. If anything (numbers) slips he is gone immediately. So status quo and PR juking are the game.

Jeff gets the praise for founding Amazon. This guy gets the blame if ANYTHING goes wrong. He may not even be able to control the company (see Jeff Immelt).

No, Jassy's AWS has been notorious for brutal software engineering conditions. Worse than the rest of Amazon, which is already bottom 5% of companies ratings by their internal employees.
