Pros: Solid company, especially to intern for.

Cons: If you climb, the hours start getting worse.

Pros: Excellent culture, with clear, objective, and efficient principles for guiding day-to-day decision-making. Lots of opportunities for learning and professional growth. Things happen very fast, and you end up developing at the same speed. It's possible to work on high-impact projects. Mentorship offered by colleagues with a lot of market experience. There is a very strong culture of documenting everything. High standards are expected in all activities. Good benefits in the internship program.

Cons: - It's a lot of information to constantly absorb, and it can feel like you're never learning fast enough. - If adequate emotional intelligence is not developed, the feeling of not delivering results at the expected speed or quality is constant, even when the feedback is positive.

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.
