What is Amazon up to in Kendall Square? Their research-and-development office opened at the Cambridge Innovation Center in 2012 and 80 people work there, but details on what product they’re all working on is very secretive.

If recruited, a technician can get $200,000 if skilled in programming or speech recognition, reportedly.

Current and former employees are forbidden to talk to about what goes on at the Cambridge office and the two teams there can’t even tell each other what they’re up to.

However, the tech industry rumor has settled on a mobile phone as Amazon’s secret project.
