A common theme among some Amazon employees I spoke to was that the company could plug ordinary talent into the business and help them max out their potential. Why? The data systems and access available to the average employee. Systems and data availability can be a limitation in most large corporations, where they often get in the way of talented people, rather than helping them. In fact, at one friend's company, the "database" he was trying to access was a manually-updated spreadsheet held on his colleague's desktop – who would only email it if he asked nicely. This still happens at more than a few companies I have talked to over the years.
