Amazon选组求助

大家好，A家offer给了我下面4个组的做选择，大家如果有了解的话能否帮小弟分析下
.google  и各个组的优缺点？小弟跪谢~~

Amazon Local

AmazonLocal offers customers discounts of up to 75% off desirable goods and
services in their communities -- over 120 regions throughout the United
States and Great Britain. This rapidly-growing business within Amazon offers
a creative, fast-paced, entrepreneurial work environment.  We are not tied
to one technology – instead, we use what is best suited for the purpose.
Our team owns all of the technology that powers AmazonLocal, including
mobile applications, deal workflow systems, automated merchant and deal
scoring, business portal, consumer website, and high performance services
used as a platform for AmazonLocal. Most of our systems are loosely coupled,
communicating using synchronous and asynchronous messaging, leading to a
classic distributed processing architecture. We are looking for talented
SDEs who enjoy working on creative algorithms, building large scale systems
and who thrive in a fast paced fun environment.



FBA
. Waral dи,
Are you ready to make a BIG difference? Join Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA).
Our development teams create the user interfaces and large distributed
systems that enable sellers worldwide to run their businesses with Amazon’s
world-class fulfillment systems. Sellers all around the world are selling
their products on Amazon. FBA simplifies this process and help sellers grow
their business. Instead of having to do everything by themselves, sellers
send inventory directly to Amazon where it is stored and managed in our
secure facilities. When orders are received, Amazon will professionally pick
, pack and ship the product directly to their customers. In just the last
quarter of 2011, Fulfillment by Amazon shipped tens of millions of items on
behalf of sellers. When sellers use FBA, their items become eligible for
Amazon Prime, for Super Saver Shipping, and for Amazon returns processing
and customer service. FBA is self-service and comes with APIs as well as an
easy-to-use inventory management console as part of Amazon Seller Central.
As mentioned by Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon.com, in his annual
letter to shareholders in 2008 and again this year, FBA is one of the long-
term opportunities for the company to improve the lives of sellers and
buyers. We need your help to grow the business by building highly available
and scalable systems that provide clean interfaces between sellers,
customers and Amazon’s fulfillment center and supply chain software. You
will be exposed to both technology and business. You will manage and
manipulate Big Data. You will learn about every part Amazon’s systems from
our catalog, ordering, and fulfillment. Learn more about our business at http://fba.amazon.com. Become a part of our fun, innovative team and make history!



IPC

Inventory Planning and Control is responsible for optimizing two of Amazon’
s core business drivers: the cost of goods and outbound transportation. Our
systems understand what inventory to buy, how much to buy and where to buy
it from. We then decide how to place billions of items across our world-wide
warehouse network, and determine the optimal way to ship every customer
order. We build systems that run at Amazon scale using cloud computing and
service oriented architecture, we develop and operate high-throughput
distributed systems, and utilize numerous classes of algorithmic approaches
(combinatorial, non-linear and stochastic optimization, machine learning,
statistical analysis, simulation). We operate in a complex problem domain (
Supply Chain, Inventory Management) and rapidly innovate to provide low
prices, Earth’s Biggest Selection, and fast delivery for Amazon customers
globally. We’re finding new ways to leverage Amazon’s scale and computing
infrastructure to build completely new solutions in areas such as buying
strategy, optimization, selection, and operations planning that have never
been solved at this scale. No experience with Supply Chain is required, just
a willingness to learn and a desire to solve very tough problems.  If the
idea of building large scale, high availability software systems using
mathematical modeling, simulations and data analysis gets you excited, come
work for us!



Corporate Projects / New Initiatives

The Team: How often have you had an opportunity to be a founding member of a
team that is tasked with solving a huge business problem through innovative
. 1point 3acres technology? This is a brand new Amazon project and this is your chance to
get in on the ground floor of a game-changing initiative. While you’ll be
able to use existing Amazon systems when possible, you’ll be working on
hard challenging problems that most likely have no off-the-shelf solutions
within Amazon, and most likely haven’t been solved anywhere else in the
world to the requirements we need. You should be comfortable building
prototypes, challenging assumptions and thinking of creative ways to tackle
problems. You’ll get to build systems from ground-up to keep the
operational load negligible! Everyone on the team needs to be
entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative
environment that’s more startup than big company. We’ll need to tackle
problems that span a variety of domains: computer vision, image recognition,
machine learning, wireless technologies, real-time and distributed systems.

更新：我在网上看到一些讨论认为AWS是一个比较有前途且Amazon做的比较好的东东，以后也容易往其他地方跳，于是我跟HR说有没有AWS的组可以让我选，HR就发过来下面3个，请大牛帮我分析选择，多谢啦

AWS Infrastructure

Are you excited about building tools that directly impact Amazon’s business? We’re building a new team to innovate in optimizing utilization of compute capacity, forecasting scaling needs, and building tools that enable massive scale in Amazon’s fleet management process. If you’re excited about innovating and building software that makes a huge impact to thousands of people as well as the bottom line then you will fit in great on this team. We’re looking for high-caliber software developers to invent and execute their ideas in a fast-paced, challenging and very fun environment. We're creative, passionate, obsessive about user experience, and we constantly challenge the way things have traditionally been done in our space. Zeal for delivering high quality software and customer happiness is essential.

Our software developers own delivery of features and services from beginning to end. You will design, implement, launch, and support your ideas. Your input into every part of the feature, from user interface to the data layer, is not only desired but also critical to the delivery process. In our flat hierarchy and fast-moving environment, you have the ability to turn your ideas into real-world products that customers use every day.

You will make a tremendous impact on Amazon’s business by enhancing and building these tools. You will have the opportunity to leverage Amazon Web Services and a wide variety of technologies and frameworks.



Cloud Drive

Cloud Drive - Amazon’s Cloud Drive Mission: Anything Digital, Securely Stored, Available Anywhere.

People are making memories every day. Taking photos at parties, shooting video of a spring break vacation on the beach, or writing the next great novel. The Amazon Cloud Drive team is revolutionizing the way customers access, manage, interact, categorize, secure and share digital content that has NEVER been done before on the Kindle Fire, iOS, android, web, desktop and beyond.  Amazon’s Cloud Drive team brings all digital content to life.



AWS Commerce Platform

The AWS Cloud Commerce Platform team is focused on the most interesting and challenging problems lying at the intersection of cloud computing and e-commerce. These include enabling developers and software companies to easily distribute, and make money from, their cloud-based products; enabling consumers of cloud-based software to evaluate, buy, and 1-click deploy even the most complicated cloud architectures; modeling the new ways that software is sold and consumed in a cloud environment; and interpreting and processing the very high volume stream of events (e.g. trillions per day) that underlies enabling e-commerce for the cloud. We are bringing Amazon.com's 19 years of e-commerce leadership and IP to bear on the cloud computing space, including providing the e-commerce platform on which AWS runs, and delivering the AWS Marketplace that enables third-party developers and software companies to launch cloud-based products. And, along the way, we get to tackle problems on the leading edge of security and fraud detection, distributed computing and bill computation, and low-latency/real-time analysis -- all in an environment whose scale and high-throughput is orders of magnitude beyond most other systems.

首先恭喜楼主拿到offer,还有这么多选择！！
个人感觉 commerce platform， 涉及cloud computing, online payment, e-commerce, 以后的发展应该不错。AWS Infrastructure 看介绍应该是个比较新的组吧，应该会接触新的技术，氛围也会很活跃吧。Cloud drive 应该会涉及storage, mobile development, digital processing。如果是我的话commerce platform》Cloud drive》AWS Infrastructure 。仅仅是个人意见啊，我也是新人没入职呢。我12月1号入职，有机会认识一下啊。
