What is Amazon?

Amazon was founded in 1995 by Jeff Bezos and is based out of Seattle, Washington. Amazon is one of the largest online shopping websites in the world. The site is widely known for its wide selection of books, although the site has expanded to sell electronics, music, furniture, and apparel. Similar to eBay, users can also purchase and sell items using Amazon’s online marketplace system. Amazon.com considers itself a completely customer-centric company. In fact, it has described itself as “customer-obsessed.” The company really believes that if it doesn’t listen to customers, it will fail. Amazon has stated that it wants to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself to the company during a time of the unprecedented technological revolution. As of early 2017, Amazon had nearly 269,000 employees worldwide. It is known for its technical innovations and boasts that its engineers handle complex challenges in large-scale computing. Software development engineers, technical program managers, test engineers and user interface experts work in small teams throughout the company to build an e-commerce platform that’s used by customers, sellers, merchants and external developers.
