A lot of things to learn. A lot of hardworking and smart people
A lot of things to learn. A lot of hardworking and smart people
I noticed that people at Amazon have either stayed for a really long time or just in there for 1-2 years of their career.
From more senior colleagues, you can definitely learn a lot if you are doing an internship or are fresh out of college.
Amazon has its own system for almost everything you need to build software, but you really need to think big because everything needs to be scalable (especially if you are on Retail or AWS).
Perks are limited (as you all know); money doesn't buy you happiness.
It might take a while to get used to people moving around, switching teams all the time.

Software Development Engineer Intern
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.

Neutral. The interviewer asked me 5 to 7 behavior questions. There were so many questions that I didn't have enough projects to cover them all. The interview lasted for one hour. I received the result two weeks later.

The interview was smooth. It consisted of two behavioral questions and one LeetCode medium problem. Overall, it wasn't a hard interview, but my lack of preparation and sleep didn't help. I would focus on arrays and strings.
