One measure is the longer best employer lists, such as this:

Year after year, Amazon is the biggest tech company not on the list.

(And, last but not least: I speak to real, live, Amazonians--they all love their jobs, and their employer. Not customer service Amazonians; corporate ones. I haven't seen ANY turnover, of any person I've dealt with, in nearly 5 years, and that's a good number of people.

With all due respect, the fact you "haven't seen ANY turnover, of any person I've dealt with, in nearly 5 years" is proof that your sample isn't random. So your experience, while I can't fault you for basing your opinion on it, shouldn't influence others.
Larger samples have repeatedly shown Amazon to have extraordinarily high employee turnover. See:

Ordinary warehouse workers are mostly not included in these statistics because the non-managers tend to work for staffing firms.
Is is possible for a good employer to have high turnover? Sure. That's just one factor. But it seems to me that if everyone you know at Amazon is still there years later, and everyone likes it, your sample is, by happenstance, skewed.
