Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Introduction to Amazon and its core values, hackathon, panel with software developers describing their journey and experience at Amazon with live Q&A, description of the internship interview process and tips
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting to hear from the panellists, though maybe there could have been a wider range of experience. For example, including someone who has been at Amazon long-term vs someone who is a new graduate employee.
