Legal mess

Amazon's legal department is terrible. Like the rest of the company, management has an over reliance on growth of the stock price to enrich themselves and their friends, so there's no real merit-based compensation system. 

You would think a legal department would be less prone to unfair treatment, but there is a lot of arbitrariness disguised as adherence "leadership principles" which masks discrimination. There is also undue pressure for all work deadlines and unrealistic expectations. If there is ever an investigation of the details of what goes on here, it will be a bloody mess.
