Good pay, okay benefits, a great place to learn
Decent flexibility and control over what you work on, so lots of learning opportunities (and, in my opinion, a great post-grad gig).
Everyone at Amazon uses AWS, so the experience you build here is directly applicable to 90% of startups and other companies. Plus, there are no internal languages, so pretty much everything you work on is directly transferable to outside the company.
Compensation is competitive, and benefits are decent.
It can be somewhat intense; deadlines are short, and everyone does on-call, which can be stressful and unforgiving. Food is not provided in the office. Make of that what you will.
Benefits could be significantly improved, especially given the hours people end up working.

There were 3 rounds: 2 LP + DSA, one LP + LLD. I would say, even if an interview goes well, an offer is not guaranteed. LP feels like it goes well, but then you may still get rejected. Honestly, it is not difficult.

I took a lot of time to get the interview. First, I had to solve the assignment, and then I was contacted by a recruiter for the super day. To prepare for the super day, I had to solve: * Two LeetCode problems * One LLD problem

The process started with an online assessment, followed by a loop of three interviews. I learned a lot during the interview process. The interviewers were friendly, and I hope to get one more chance soon to crack it.
