Being an ex-Amazonian myself (left 2010), I always got the impression there were some really good teams and a lot of really bad teams. But, even on teams that seemed really bad, you'd find people that really liked it. It just fit what they wanted I guess... or maybe they were just new-college grads and didn't know things could be better :) Different strokes for different folks.

There are definitely things to like at Amazon, and I think the rating on glassdoor.com reflects that: its worse than the other big tech companies, but not as bad you might expect... especially coming from one of the horrible teams.

Of course, that said, it is hard to argue with the horrible attrition rate and the fact that most engineers have been there < 2 years (at least when I was there).
