Pros

As an intern, everyone really wants you to succeed. They give you a dedicated mentor and buddy, and everyone on the team is super helpful.

Interns get a project to do that is reasonable in scope, and at the end of the internship you present on it.

Also, the pay is fantastic, and from what I've seen, return offers are quite common.

Cons

My manager was spread a bit too thin, and we didn't jive super well. Also, Amazon has a lot of internal tools that are difficult to learn but are really helpful once you do learn them. It wasn't easy, and I almost didn't come back, but I ended up returning full-time, and it's been great!
