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.
Most of the things you read online about the process are true. Make sure you use the STAR method when answering questions, as it seems to be an important tenet. I interviewed in 2022.
Recruiter reached out. OA assessment. 4 rounds of virtual on-site: 3 Technical Rounds consisting of either: - 2 LP (always first) - LC medium/hard || LLD problem 1 System Design
The process included two online assessments (one technical, one workstyle simulator). This was followed by two back-to-back technical interviews for the final round. A few days later, I received the decision via email.
