Pros: As a big tech company, Amazon provided excellent technical and administrative onboarding tutorials for interns. The pay is good, with a housing stipend. The offices are good at Seattle HQ, and even better at Bellevue, a neighboring city of Seattle.

Cons: Team/project assignments are random. If you get assigned a helpful, caring team and a project that is manageable and allows for good learning, you have a higher chance of getting a return offer and a more pleasant internship experience. Your mentor dictates a lot of things. You might get assigned a mentor who just doesn't care about your growth and your project, or they are simply incapable or lack the bandwidth to care. A lot of engineers seem stressed and busy, which makes you wonder if this is a good place to work full time.

Pros: Everything is team-dependent in terms of WLB, workload, cohesion, and mentorship (all positives).

Cons: Limited benefits overall, lack of events outside main branches.

Pros: Great company to work at. Good work-life balance, and interns are well compensated.

Cons: Bad for people working in warehouses, I've heard.
