Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I challenged myself in difficult coding challenges in the Hackathon portion of the event and then talked to a panel of Amazon Software Engineers in a Q&A session. Towards the end they talked about information on the application process for internships with an Amazon recruiter and followed with what is offered to the people in this event to support that process.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Really useful in terms of what type of people work in Amazon. It has inspired me to work even harder to be a better Software Engineer.
