The 20 Schools With The Most Grads At Amazon

If you can land a job at Amazon, you’re in good hands.

The Harvard Business Review recently named its leader, Jeff Bezos, the highest-performing CEO alive.

It all comes down to the company’s model — work hard, have fun, make history — which has turned the Seattle retailer into an empire that brings in $75 billion a year.

The University of Washington, Western Washington University, Washington State, and Seattle University have a combined 3,038 alums working for Amazon, or 41% of the top-20 feeder schools.
