Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, Amazon is the world‘s most powerful online commerce platform outside of China. Its turnover has been growing steadily for twenty-five years. It has a streaming platform and its warehouses are managed by robots. It has often been criticized for the working conditions of its 1.5 million employees.
