Amazon soars to more than 341K employees, adding 110K people in a single year
It&#x27;s not simply an e-commerce giant, it&#x27;s a logistics giant.<p>Hundreds of warehouses, hundreds of delivery stations, thousands of shipping containers, dozens of planes (plus an airport soon), a container ship is rumoured. That 341k number probably doesn&#x27;t even count the independent contractors (both through Flex and through Amazon Logistics) handling deliveries.<p>The tens of thousands of software developers are there to (among other things) optimize the efficiency of those workers, make them achieve more with less effort via technology.
