The New York Times recently published an article that called out online-retail giant Amazon for its difficult work environment and mistreatment of employees.

Assistant Professor Cara Maurer spoke with Yahoo News to illustrate society’s tendency to turn the other cheek to what really goes on behind the scenes at large corporations. Maurer said it’s easy to assume that all tech companies are great places to work.

“I think because we are so excited about new technologies and things changing that we are sometimes forgetting to ask the right questions about what is behind that,” says Maurer.
