But, overall, it's unrealistic to expect to find a productive startup as a functional part of a megacorp. The interests and politics are entirely different. Maybe the closest to a startup large business would be Virgin Group in years gone by.
Unfortunately, these have been the problems with Amazon for over a decade. It's what helped them scale, but leads to new engineers feeling powerless to innovate or try anything new.

Start an employee-owned co-op software consultancy to sell into megacorps to do what they're politically or culturally unable to do for themselves while keeping your own employees' work-life balance more-or-less actually balanced, and make potentially more money while retaining your motivation, sanity, and economic stability.
