Amazon does a good job of helping the interns network with each other.
You work with very bright people, which keeps your game strong.
Lots of technical discretion was given. I never felt like "just an intern." This was challenging (admittedly stressful at times!), and very rewarding.
Technical talks, visiting musicians and authors.
Pay and accommodations make it possible to focus on work with few distractions.
It seemed to vary from team to team, but I was given no technical mentorship whatsoever.
Some people are ridiculously busy, so the place can feel cold and contagiously stressful.
I'd say kill the "OMG I'm so busy" culture. This is my biggest concern while evaluating the company as a potential future employer.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. The interview was pretty straightforward. Had an online assessment followed by a questionnaire for Amazon culture fit. Had three loop rounds back to back where I was asked: * Two LeetCode questions * Some
Standard technical interview. Very nice interviewers guided me through the questions. Emphasis was placed on explaining my thinking process and writing comments in the code. The behavioral questions were standard to Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Interview went well with four rounds completed. However, since I took the interview three years ago, I don’t believe that experience will be particularly useful or relevant now.
