Overview of Experience

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

The insight event took 3 days and during the event we had multiple talks and workshops. Workshops were organized in groups of 7-8 people, and with the help of a mentor, we solved different interesting coding problems.

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

I believe that the company's presentation gave during those 3 days helped me understand company's mission and services offered, and convinced me that I would like to work in such an impactful and growing environment. Moreover, Amazon offered a mentoring scheme to all the participants to help us be prepared for the upcoming interviews.
