Amazon is a notoriously difficult place to work.

The New York Times' exposé of Amazon's competitive work environment has been making huge waves since it was published last Saturday.

The article in The Times describes a "bruising workplace" where employees are asked to harshly critique their peers, and those suffering personal crises are often pushed out of their positions.

We checked out that piece in addtion to a couple Quora threads, Glassdoor reviews, and Reddit comments where people claiming to be current and former employees dish on the downsides of working there.

Many of these posts were written anonymously, so take them with a grain of salt, but we've only included sentiments that seemed to be a reoccuring theme or that we have heard from our own sources.

Disclosure: Jeff Bezos is an investor in Business Insider through hispersonal investment company Bezos Expeditions.
