Interns get paid a crazy amount, and also a housing/relocation stipend (I got this even though the virus necessitated remote internships in 2020).
I got a lot of good experience with in-demand technologies, AWS in particular.
My internship was remote, which made it hard for me to get a complete picture, but I found Amazon's work culture to be very overbearing.
Work-life balance is given lip service, but at the end of the day, you are expected to make your work into your life.
The possibility of getting a return offer (or threat of not getting one) was used to get interns to work themselves as hard as possible.
My job was also made unnecessarily difficult by an uncooperative mentor that constantly gave off the air of wanting to do anything but interact with me.
Interns come to you to learn, gain experience, and get a feel for the company culture – not to be treated like code monkeys that need to compete for return offers.
The interview process included an online coding assessment with two LeetCode questions, then a one-hour technical interview with one LeetCode question as well as some background questions. After that, I heard back from them in a few weeks.
Interview (one round): They asked some data structures and algorithms questions, and also some basic CS knowledge. I found it not easy at all. The market is really not doing well right now.
Coding OA -> One-way workplace OA -> Technical interview -> Offer. The technical interview was just a tagged LeetCode question (medium difficulty). The overall process took quite long. I got the OA late December, and the interview was in February.
