Amazon is a multinational technology company based in Seattle, Washington, which focuses on

has been highly successful, it still faces many management problems today, such as, "stack
ranking" feedback in which employees are rated against each other in annual reviews, lack of
employee motivation & low employee retention, warehouse abuses with insufficient break times

issues in detail along with providing recommendations for improving these issues.
