Amazon.com, incorporated in 1994, was originally based out of founder Jeff Bezos’ garage. In the company’s first month of business, it shipped orders to all 50 states as well as 45 countries. Amazon now employs 33,700 workers in 12 countries worldwide.
A leader in the e-book platform since the launch of its Kindle e-reader, the company has reached the point where its sales of Kindle books exceeds the number of hardcover books it sells.
Amazon has recently hired a new director of social media, John Yurcisin, to help the company redefine its social strategy. While Amazon pioneered the concept of e-commerce, it’s lately fallen behind in both social networking and social media.
Employee Review: “The company has some of the best and brightest co-workers I’ve ever worked with. There are challenging problems to work on in every department, and management is rarely afraid to invest in bold new ideas.”*
