Pros

Lots of internal tooling. Ownership culture. Brilliant teams and coworkers. Large intern class, offering more networking opportunities and events. Pay to interview effort ratio is optimal.

Cons
  • Sometimes your team won’t look out for your best interest as an intern.
  • Other times your manager will ping you at 8 p.m. (during an internship, mind you).
  • Lastly, Amazon hires so many interns it’s hard to stand out for Quant/Unicorns when competing the following year (this only applies if you’re not in your penultimate year).
