Review: Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon

Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon by Colin Bryar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting book, although pretty useless if you're looking for a book on Entrepreneurship. The authors joined Amazon when it was still young, but already very much an established (and publicly traded) company, so the issues they discuss have to do with huge workforces and extraordinary budgets. 

Interesting how much the culture of "Jeff" seems to be pervasive here as well. It almost sounds like Bezos commissioned this, and it makes me wonder what the effect has been at Amazon of Andy Jassy taking over. 

Also, ironic that, with all the Amazon products discussed, there was no mention of Audible, which I used to listen to this, or Goodreads, where I'm writing this review.
