Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles:

• Compensation was good.
• Manager was good.

Don't choose Delhi as a location if you get a chance to choose one. Trust me, I made the same mistake. I was reading reviews and ignored them, thinking what could go wrong if I worked hard.

My internship experience was not what I expected. I had 1:1s with my assigned mentor only 8 times (yes, 8 times in 6 months, and that too for 10 minutes each). He never used to assign me tasks. Although one SDE, who was not my mentor, helped me a lot. He assigned me tasks and also helped me by resolving my doubts. My manager understood the situation, so I was fortunate there.

I worked day and night and completed every assigned task on time, and still, I am not sure if I will be getting a full-time offer. I am writing this on my last day as an intern.

Believe me, people are leaving; no one stays more than a year in the team. I have seen it, and I even got advice to apply and try for other big companies.

Strive to be the world's best employer. Really?
