My team was amazing. My manager and mentor worked with me to determine the goals (and extended goals) for the duration of 12 weeks, but gave me enough flexibility and freedom to make changes to those goals. My mentor also helped me navigate through the internal systems (technical and administrative) of Amazon. His technical guidance was amazing.
Flexible hours: I could pop in at any time between 9 and 11 and leave any time between 3-8. I mean, nobody counted the hours or cared, as long as I was meeting my goals in a timely manner.
Stipend and relocation benefits were amazing.
It's a little difficult to find your feet in the company, as it's huge.
The office laptop was a little crappy. I did most of my work on the RHEL they provided, but the laptop can be better than what they provide (middle-of-the-line HP, i5, 8 gigs RAM, slow).
I have no other complaints.
Keep up the amazing work.
Maybe provide top-notch machines for the interns to work on!
Stage 1: Coding interview with 2 Leetcode Medium problems in 70 minutes. Stage 2: Live coding interview with general questions about teamwork and leadership, technical questions, and an open-ended systems design question.
The interview depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you will get something from Neetcode 150. If you are unlucky, you may get something out of the box, and the interviewer might not help much.
The interviewer asked one question about Amazon Chime. My question was to create a tree from a list of tuple edges. It was fairly straightforward. I was waitlisted, then received no offer. However, the interview process was very nice.
