What kind of success has anyone had with Alexa Voice marketing? Are there specific industries aside from food and basic shopping that would benefit from being keyword ready for Alexa?
For example: 1. Will consumer/advertisers benefits more when we have Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc etc as different companies and compete with each other?? User can switch platform if they don't like the policy and operations of one company.. 2. Can AWS serve their customer better if they are...Read more
If you go to Best Buy, you will see all sorts of smart bulbs (and other equipments) that say that they work with Amazon Alexa. They don't differentiate among different kinds of Echo devices. So they will work with Echo Gen 2 and Plus, both. Echo Plus does boast of a built in hub though. What's the...Read more
Who is paying $1600 for an Alexa with wheels? I looked at it just for curiosity based on my "invitation" and tbh I don't find any way to justify that steep price for literally an Echo Show on rollerblades. Perhaps elder people or someone with a disability might benefit but they use that as a very s...Read more

Is the SCOT team (Supply Chain Optimization Technologies) team good at Amazon? Got an offer from there (SDE), but it seems a step down in all aspects (63 -> L5, TC goes down, Azure -> SCOT). The only reasons I am considering? 1. Not happy with current manager. Have made a lot of noise about that
Hi all, I am a fresh grad PhD(0 YOE) in Machine Learning and I want to seek some advice on two offers I received recently.

Currently in the team match phase. I was told upfront (prior to loop) about this being an L6 SDM - this is a major downgrade from my current scope (4 teams, 25+ ppl) yet I went forward for interview practice and with the hope they would see some L7 potential. I need some datapoints from Amazonians ...Read more
