Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Learnt much about the core values of the company along with many different paths into a software engineering role.
There was also a small hackathon session that was undertaken on Hackerrank which was very fun and helpful to develop my programming skills.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The Q and A panel were very descriptive about their journey into their roles at Amazon and shared good examples on the core values that they focus on and use in their day-to-day life.
More insight into the hiring process and getting tips for the interviews encouraged me to apply.
