Pros

Working with really smart folks. You get a complete team environment; team members are supportive. Pay and benefits are good. Self-motivation is required. Overall, a perfect place to work at the beginning of your career.

Cons

Work/life balance is ruined. If you are new to the industry, expect to work on weekends.

It can be overwhelming during the first 1.5 months (getting used to Amazon's tools). Also, leadership principles sometimes conflict (Dive Deep and Deliver Results).

Advice to Management

Please pre-assign the resources required for the intern project in the initial 2-3 weeks of the internship.
