Lots of Room for Growth
Lots of Room for Growth
- Get to own a project independently and drive it to completion.
- Intern projects are valued; mine and many others made it to production.
- Strong mentoring is provided (you are given one mentor for the summer with whom you work closely).
- Experience with the Amazon development process (even though you are not partaking in your team's Agile activities, you can sit in on those meetings and participate).
- An offer for post-graduation was immediately extended.
You need a deliverable at the end. Even if your project is going really well, if you don't have anything to demo at the end of it, it's almost like doing nothing.
The last 1-2 weeks are mostly demos.
Your project is (usually) isolated from what the rest of the team is working on.

It wasn’t that difficult of a challenge if you’re well-versed in basic data structures and algorithmic analysis. For me personally, I was asked questions involving: * Stacks * Queues * Trees

The process was fair. I was asked a system design question, and we spent a lot of time discussing how it could be optimized. Most of my time was spent explaining why I was making certain choices.

The interview was 45 minutes long. The beginning was behavioral, with questions like "Tell me about yourself." I was asked to have stories for every leadership principle. I received a question: "Tell me about a time you showed customer obsession."
