Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were presented with a variety of talks including a day in the life of a software development engineer, how the recruitment process works, Amazon's culture, as well as getting to ask questions in a panel discussion with recruiters and interviewers. We were also put into mentoring groups with about 5 other interns. Our mentor gave us coding tasks and guided us throughout.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very informative to learn about the vast amount of roles at Amazon. It is also encouraging, as it shows that there are plenty of opportunities for us at Amazon.
