Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight involved talks from current employees and interns and they talked about there day to day life, the culture, and what it is like to work at Amazon and the application process. Also, we had workshops where we worked in smaller groups with a mentor on some coding exercises and interview tips.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very interesting as we delved into what the roles actually entailed on a day to day basis, but also on a macro scale to see what its like over time
