Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
At first I was a bit afraid about it but Amazon did a great effort by trying to make you as much comfortable as possible. I was integrated in a group of my region, Spain, and the experience with the mentor and the teammates. I learned a lot and had a great time.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I had previous information about Amazon's culture, but talking with a current employee actually helps to understand the fundamentals.
