Yep, I've seen that pretty much every large corporation that I've worked at and I've worked at several. Based on what I read, Amazon is more like a consulting firm culture where the knives are out pretty openly.
Actually, having lots of freedom from division to division is probably a good idea for Amazon. What works with respect to books may not work for Audible or WholeFood.
