I have principles-fatigue after going through a number of companies that promise to abide by certain good sounding principles only to backtrack at the slightest pushback. I would actually trust a company more if it had no defined principles. Perhaps just honesty and transparency.

Amazon DOES follow them very closely, it's quite unlike any other company in that aspect.

I'd challenge most Amazon employees to be able to even name all the principles.
