An honest culture
An honest culture
Internships: You work with highly competent people. They do good work and are willing to help you learn.
Location: Seattle is beautiful with entertainment aplenty. Amazon and interns organize plenty of events as well.
Pay: is good
Culture is results-oriented, so if you can do your work in 6 hours, then awesome. If you're barely keeping up at 11 hours a day, you might need to up that to 12.
It's somewhat overwhelming to self-indoctrinate the leadership principles, be highly effective at them, and also complete a project on time.
Mentors have their own stuff to handle. They may be extremely helpful, they may be busy with their own projects, or they might be inaccessible. Don't be surprised to encounter all three.
Make sure mentors are available all throughout the internship and don't have too much on their own plate (i.e., mission-critical projects that they're a key stakeholder on).
