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

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).

Initial phone call with a recruiter, followed by a 90-minute coding assignment. This consisted of standard LeetCode-style algorithm and data structures problems, loosely related to the specific role and easy to prepare for by using normal resources.
