Pros
  • Amazon provides a lot of resources and instruction for curious interns.
  • The work is purposeful and impactful.
  • Employees can explore a large variety of campuses and avail many benefits.
  • My team was responsive, helpful, and truthful to ensure I put my best into my project.
Cons

Teams place a lot of expectations on interns. Interns are expected to be self-sufficient. Usually, intern projects only serve internal needs.

Advice to Management

Since it is daunting for a new employee to dive deep into workplace practices and their project, management should take time to stay in touch and ensure they're comfortable before letting them venture independently.
