Pros

Being an intern at Amazon is engaging and really helped me grow into a more professional development role. I never felt pressured to have precise knowledge that wasn't previously and explicitly told to me. Help was always given when I asked. As an intern, my experience was very organized, understandable, and professional.

Cons

Sometimes the community aspect of my team is very small. Everyone works from home, so besides very sparse get-togethers, I have no social engagement with them. It would be nice to know the people I work with better.

Advice to Management

Management can be more egalitarian with their community focus. I think that because I was on a smaller team in a smaller organization, management did not allocate as much thought, time, or resources into building the same community that they do for AWS or eCommerce organizations.
