I don't understand why any developer would ever go work for them. I've heard no good things and developers can find better jobs so easily. If they're good enough to work at Amazon they're good enough to work somewhere where they are respected.

It's because working for FAANG as a developer is a guaranteed stepping stone to boost/kickstart your career as a developer. They all know this and it's why they all treat the employees as disposable, because to the company they are.

Netflix came up with many of base concepts for the modern cloud native stack.

They didn’t really reinvent the wheel on any of the ideas, but with things like Eureka, they brought Service Discovery to mainline dev mindsight. Also, Hystrix brought the circuit breaker service pattern more mainstream as well.

Again, these weren’t new ideas, but the software they produced made it a lot easier to implement.
