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: Brilliant people, friendly. Real-life experience with a lot of tools and codebases.

Cons: Benefits and activities on-site are missing a bit. I would have imagined a bit more effort into outside office life.

Pros: Learning Great coding standards pay.

Cons: Lack of benefits, terrible HR.
