A Rare Peek Inside Amazon’s Massive Wish-Fulfilling Machine 12 years ago
I've spent time at Amazon, I suspect: - Amazon persistently strives for efficiency and frugality over all else: applies in FC and HQs. I think this culture could turn off many people - Kiva will reduce human usage/energy (not sure if that's where you were headed though) - Inevitably, optimization means reducing the cost (inc human effort) required to store and fulfill products - Having visited FCs, the ones I saw had fine working conditions though I understand the reality of publicity in the past
