Pros

As a student, this internship gave me a great insight into what real-life software engineering looks like. However, I'm sure I could have gotten this at any well-established company.

Cons

I felt I had no real identity. When you work at Amazon, you're one of a million, not one in a million. The experience depends on the team. One of my friends was getting drinks with his team every Thursday and playing games with them every weekend. On the team I was in, people were filing complaints to HR about one another.
