Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I thought the event was very helpful in terms of providing an overview of Amazon's mission, and the hackathon was very challenging but was also a good hands-on experience. the speakers were very nice and answered any questions that came up.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was great to hear from different Amazon employees, because each person provided a different perspective on their career paths and internship experiences. I also found it very helpful to hear from the recruiter who provided tips about the application process and how to go about preparing for the interview
