Amid sharp criticism over how it treats its employees, Amazon is looking to fill nearly 55,000 open corporate and tech positions globally, including 40,000 in the U.S., the company announced Wednesday in the lead-up to its annual Career Day event for prospective job applicants.
Amazon’s hiring spree is concentrated in Seattle, where the company, Washington state’s largest private employer, has nearly 12,500 open roles, more than in any other city. An Amazon spokesperson said that the open positions in Seattle are a combination of new roles and backfills for attrition and transfers out of the city.
Trailing Seattle are Arlington, Virginia, where Amazon has roughly 2,600 open jobs at its second headquarters, and Bellevue, where the company lists roughly 1,500 open tech and corporate positions. Amazon has said it expects to locate 25,000 employees in Bellevue within four years.
