Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I got an insight into how it is like working at Amazon and panelists did give us detailed advice based on their personal experience rather than just general ones on internet.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It helps me have a clearer perspective on what I should work on and what I myself should develop to better fit the role I am pursuing.
