Pros
  • Lots of free stuff ($100 to the Amazon employee merchandise store, free Echo Show, Echo Dot, and Kindle Fire, free team lunches at Din Tai Fung, received 30 t-shirts for free to give to family and friends, concert with Lil Nas X and Katy Perry, free team sweater, free water bottle, free notebook, free backpack).
  • Received machine learning education through Amazon's Machine Learning University.
  • Learned a lot about AWS.
  • Great teammates and manager!
Cons

Manager gave a very broad project: "create a tool for the team to resolve problems easier."

Did not receive as much mentorship as I would have liked, as my project was out of the scope of my team.
