Pros

Great atmosphere – my team was very welcoming, friendly, and easy to reach out to – manager, mentors, and team-mates. You take part in daily standups, sprint planning meetings, team meetings, all-hands meetings, and game nights, etc.

Growth – I received mentoring and learned AWS and advanced Java features. Plus, there are a lot of other trainings, broadcasts, and seminars focused on leadership principles, technical, and personal growth.

Adding value – You get to work on your individual project from start to finish – write a design doc, implement it, and present it. Plus, it's something that is used by the team.

Equipment – They send you a monitor and a laptop, and headphones. They also reimburse if anything needs replacement.

Great compensation.

Did not rescind offers during the pandemic – found a way to make remote internships work, and I'm grateful for that.

Cons

Sometimes the documentation was out of date.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. I felt that I was Amazon's customer as an intern!
