Fantastic Intern Program
Fantastic Intern Program
I worked as a Summer 2018 Software Development Engineer intern.
There were lots of intern events and chances to meet and network with other interns. Despite Amazon's reputation for frugality, I got a good amount of swag from my team and the company.
Mentorship on my team was very good. I worked about 6 hours a day, so the horror stories of Amazon having terrible working hours couldn't have been further from the truth on my team (Alexa). Pay was very competitive as well.
Overall, the best summer of my life.
I was the only intern on my team, which was lonely at times. But that's to be expected and not unique to Amazon.
Nothing, really. I had a great experience.

Initial phone call with a recruiter, followed by a 90-minute coding assignment. This consisted of standard LeetCode-style algorithm and data structures problems, loosely related to the specific role and easy to prepare for by using normal resources.
