Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The day-to-day involved programing, and overview of data structures and algorithms on our preferred language, and a lot of insights on interviewing at Amazon. It definitely changed the way I used to see about how to start my career in IT field, as in college we do not have that much information.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was amazing, it's hard to students who are not in tech companies to have this overview of how things works on a daily basis and from where we should start to improve our skills or where we should focus.
