    Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship

    Imagine shaping how AMAZON — yes, THE Amazon — welcomes and keeps its workforce. Every year, Amazon loses billions because new hires leave before Day 90. You’re going to fix that. In this externship, you’ll web scrape real-world employee reviews from across the web, extract actionable insights, and design persona-driven strategies to help Learning Ambassadors connect smarter, faster, and more humanely. It’s part research, part strategy—and all about learning how people data drives big decisions.

Overview

The project analyzed public employee reviews and operational context for Amazon fulfillment centers, extracting patterns in early-tenure attrition and mapping those patterns to frontline roles. The work combined web-scraped review data with role-based analysis to produce persona-driven insights and retention-focused recommendations.

I investigated how fulfillment centers operate and how that context relates to employee experience, then used those observations to inform the people-analytics work that followed.
