Amazon选组求建议，比较急~

大家好！我昨天刚刚和recruiter通过电话，之后他发来了几个组供选择。希望地里有了解的朋友帮忙分析分析，感激不尽！本人fresh grad，工作第一年想多学点有用的技术。

可选的有Consumer Website，Forecasting/Promise，Fulfillment By Amazon(FBA)，Inventory Planning and Control(IPC)。


下面是简介：

1. Consumer Website：

Consumer Website owns the technology stack for Amazon.com websites worldwide from the front-end customer experience to back-end service technology and website hosting. This includes ownership of core website pages like gateway, nav, detail page, and checkout, along with localization, media services, website rendering, content management, content optimization, Weblab, Clickstream, Web Analytics, Robot Detection and Mitigation, traffic routing, DDoS protection, service frameworks, operations automation and more. Are you ready to build features that millions of customers can see every day? Can you design across disparate systems while obsessing over great customer experiences? Are you independent, passionate, and motivated? Join the center of Amazon’s customer obsession and build features customers love and talk about, create cool and unique experiences for Amazon customers, and touch every part of Amazon’s website. Engineers ready to take on this challenge have some unique skill sets: they are experts at multitasking, are exceptionally able to work with other disciplines (interaction design, PR, business teams, etc.), and are self-directed, passionate about customer experiences, and unafraid to run down issues across the company on their own. Strong individuals on this team will own individual Amazon experiences end-to-end. A broad base of engineering skills, plus the willingness to learn new ones, is critical. Technologies include: Java, C++, Perl, scalable architecture.


2.

Forecasting/Promise：

Forecasting has 3 distinct sub-units that are useful to talk about:
Customer Experience (aka “COFS”) manages the Forecasting systems that most directly deal with customer experience. The Fulfillment Availability group calculates item availability, Delivery Promise integrates item availability and shipping capability for our customers (including whether or not items are FastTrack) and tells the customers when we will ship and/or deliver their orders, and Fulfillment Exception Management watches over this process and reacts to positive and negative events that affect customers.
Fulfill to Promise (F2P) is responsible for the assignment of individual items in a Customer Order to Fulfillment Centers/Drop-shippers. To reduce transportation and processing costs we consolidate as many items as possible into the same shipment with a prime constraint of meeting the customer promise. The flow of work to the FCs is controlled at this stage, using super-saver orders as a level-loader, to ensure that we can handle the peaks of fast-track demand. Fulfillment Optimization is the team responsible for the assignment of customer order items (shipments) to FCs and Drop-shippers. The current system is called Fulfillment Planning Engine (FPE). Unified Fulfillment Orchestration (UFO) is the team responsible for the flow of shipments to the FCs, drop-shippers[1] and 3rd party merchants. The Amazon Fulfillment Network (AFN) uses the Shipment Request & Workflow (SRW) system. The Merchant Fulfillment Network (MFN) uses the Fulfillment Management Services (FMS) system.
Forecasting Planning is responsible for forecasting short- and long-term Fulfillment Network capacity and labor needs, and drives inventory health. The Capacity Planning team is responsible for coming up with long-range plans for the FC network and provides insight into Retail product lines' conformance to Capacity goals. The Sales & Operational Planning (S&OP) team builds near-term forecasts and manages the flows into the network to hit those forecasts, thereby driving up FC productivity. The ITS team builds systems to manage flows into the FC network and to provide better S&OP forecasts. The Optimal Inventory Health team measures uneconomic inventory and builds systems that make it easy to dispose of this unneeded stock.

Fulfillment By Amazon：

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 the last quarter of 2015, Fulfillment by Amazon will serve several billion requests from sellers and customers. When sellers use FBA, their items become eligible for Amazon Prime 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 multiple annual letters to shareholders 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 technology and data at a scale that’s hard to find anywhere else. 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!

Inventory Planning and Control

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!


遗憾的是，发来的都没有热门的AWS组。如果就在这4个里面选，可以请大家帮忙排个序吗？如果找hr再协商，要到更好的组概率大吗？大家觉得Amazon都有哪些组比较好？谢谢了，还有什么不完善的我再补充~

. 1point3acres.com 楼主在填写的调查问卷里面，有写自己的兴趣是什么么？选AWS了么？打电话谈的时候有提到过想进AWS么？

写了，但是没有给我AWS的组，不知道是不是满了。

看运气了，可能你的HR比较忙。别灰心，再发邮件试试。

请问lz回完问卷之后多久hr才跟你确认打电话时间的？

好吧，我还挺想进AWS的。看来不太容易了
