    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 employee feedback and operational context within Amazon fulfillment centers to identify drivers of early turnover. It combined web-scraped reviews with operational analysis to produce persona-driven insights and proposed strategies for Learning Ambassadors. The work produced structured findings about common themes in early-stage separations.
