Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Online hackathon event. Tough but very interesting challenges! The staff members were incredibly helpful, knowledgable and friendly - both before and during the event. Perhaps there could have been a practice round for us to do in our own time beforehand so we may become familiar with the 'input()' functions as this was something I hadn't seen before. But otherwise, a great event and I'm very grateful to everyone involved.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Very interesting to hear from all the speakers and their paths to working at Amazon. It was an honour to have such knowledgeable and friendly speakers at this event.
