All your free time? Your sense of self-worth? Your sanity? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2006, Kristi Coulter left her cozy but dull job for a promising new position at the fast-growing Amazon.com, but she never expected the soul-crushing pressure that would come with it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn no time she found the challenge and excitement she'd been craving--along with seven-day workweeks, lifeboat exercises, widespread burnout, and a culture driven largely by fear. But the chase, the visibility, and, let's face it, the stock options proved intoxicating, and so, for twelve years, she stayed--until she no longer recognized the face in the mirror or the mission she'd signed up for. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnsparing, absurd, and wickedly funny, \u003ci\u003eExit Interview\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare journey inside the crucible that is Amazon.
